It may just be me, but the concept of revenge games for NFL players (games against a former team) seems to be rising in popularity. In a sport where every player is trying to find that extra edge over their opponent, there’s not much more motivating than the thought of proving to your former employer that it was a massive mistake to let you go.
Last year, the Chargers didn’t have the best record in these games. Guys like Melvin Gordon (Broncos), Desmond King (Texans), and Melvin Ingram (Chiefs) all got the opportunity to hand their former team a loss.
