Ranking Chargers’ 5 remaining regular-season opponents

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez ranks the Chargers’ remaining opponents from the toughest to the weakest.

The Los Angeles Chargers have five opponents to face before their 2019 season comes to an end.

Sitting at 4-7, their playoff chances aren’t mathematically diminished, but they will still have a tough road ahead, and they will likely have to get some help from other teams if they wish to keep playing in January.

With that, we decided to rank the Bolts’ remaining regular season opponents from the toughest to the weakest to show what they will be tasked with in the final stretch of the year.

1. Week 15 vs. Minnesota Vikings (8-3)

The Vikings are looking to be crowned NFC North champs, and they have certainly been playing like it in all facets of the game.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins is having one of his best seasons yet, passing for 2,020 yards, 18 touchdowns and one interception since Week 5. Running back Dalvin Cook has been a threat out of the backfield. Wide receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs are still one of the most dynamic duos.

Meanwhile, their defense continues to be impactful on a weekly basis, particularly the front seven, who’s allowing 94.2 yards per game on the ground and has gotten to the quarterback 31 times.
