After just missing out on the playoffs last year, many wondered if the Chargers would be able to take the next step this season and get to the postseason. With the Chargers sitting at 6-2 with a soft November schedule ahead, the playoffs almost seem to be a foregone conclusion. It is hard to imagine the Chargers not getting to 11-5 and it seems likely that they will achieve a much better record than that.
The Chargers’ next three games are against three of the worst teams in the NFL: the Raiders, Broncos and Cardinals.
