In 2024, the Los Angeles Chargers hit a small rebuild. They parted ways with important offensive players like Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Austin Ekeler. However, the team did get a new head coach this past offseason. Former Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh took the job. He’s helped change the culture of the team and is trying to instill a winning mentality.
Los Angeles had an important game in Week 16 at home. They hosted the Broncos on TNF and were down 21-10 at halftime. After giving up three touchdowns in the first half, the defense tightened up. Denver only scored six points in their second half while the Chargers offense scored 24 points. A 34-27 win vs. the Broncos improved the Chargers record to 9-6. They swept their season series vs. Denver and jumped them in the AFC playoff race. The Chargers now have a 97% chance to make the postseason.
