The Chargers lost to the Patriots 45-0 on Sunday afternoon in what amounted to be the worst blowout loss in franchise history.
Before today, the largest margin in a blowout loss was 41-0, which has actually happened twice. The most-recent of which came against the Atlanta Falcons on October 21 all the way back in 1973. The offense turned the ball over five times, including four interceptions from then-rookie quarterback Dan Fouts.
From the first whistle until the last, this latest Chargers “blunder” — which is a word I use despite it not being nearly the right word to describe their latest contest — was laden with more underwhelming game plans and the most-horrendous special teams play that the league has ever seen.
