The NFL preseason is a practice test. Nothing more, nothing less.
Hopefully, a team on the rise can put in quality play, show progress in depth and have some tough decisions to make when it comes time for roster cuts. If you want to win the NFL preseason, that’s the way to do so. Wins are significant, showing quality depth is so much more.
The Los Angeles Chargers crossed the 2018 preseason finish line with a record of 2-2. One close loss, one narrow win, one come from behind victory, one blowout. On average, that’s a solid performance for a team trending up the ladder.
