The Chargers’ 2020 season hasn’t gotten off to a great start, as they’re sitting with a 1-4 record.
Los Angeles has went down to the wire with every team they’ve played, including some of the best like the Chiefs and Buccaneers, but have struggled to close out games.
All of their losses have been within a score. This has been an ongoing issue dating back to last season, as the Bolts are 3-13 in one-score games since the start of 2019.
While L.A. looks to make a turnaround to their season, they have a favorable schedule to get back on track.
According to CBS Sports’ John Breech, the Chargers have the fourth-easiest schedule remaining in the league. Opponents have a .404 combined winning percentage.
The only opponents with a winning record that Los Angeles has yet to play are the Chiefs, Bills, Raiders (twice) and Patriots.
Along with having a pretty easy schedule, L.A. will benefit from getting key players back from their perspective injuries following the bye.
These things will help, but ultimately, the team will have to make changes to their play-calling, fix in-game woes like costly penalties and turnovers if they want to get back to the win column.
