The curse has been lifted.
It is perhaps a sign of how ubiquitously disappointing life has been for Chargers fans in recent years that initial instinct when reading that sentence may be to go: Curse?
Which one?
The Chargers curse is a complex one, combining injuries, bad coaching, terrible mistakes, and an incredibly unhealthy dose of luck into one big ball of pain and suffering. Even though the team were coming into Thursday Night with an incredible 10-3 record, the general consensus was that they needed a real statement win to announce to the world that this Chargers team are legitimate contenders.
