The Chargers finished the season at 5-11, which marked the first time since the 2000-2001 seasons where the Chargers finished with back-to-back losing records as well as in last place in the AFC West (4-12 in 2015).
However, 2016 wasn’t your normal season. The team was in nearly every game–and led in majority of those games–but could not find a way to win the close ones. America’s Finest City became America’s Heartbreak City. It’s fair to say that Chargers fans are in concussion protocol after slamming their heads against the wall following all the frustrating losses.
According to ESPN’s Eric Williams, the Chargers lost six games this season when they had a lead in the fourth quarter.
