There was a span from 2017 to 2018 where the Chargers were seemingly cursed when it came to their kicker position. Prior to the 2017 season, the Chargers decided to commit to rookie UDFA Younghoe Koo over incumbent Josh Lambo. After Koo missed multiple kicks leading to the teams 0-4 start to that season, Anthony Lynn moved on to another kicker. From then on, the Chargers led the NFL during that timespan in different kickers with seven total. After Lambo and Koo, the Chargers also employed the likes of Nick Rose, Nick Novak, Travis Coons, and Caleb Sturgis before finally finding former UDFA Michael Badgley.
