The Los Angeles Rams get a good early season test before getting another in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings. But before the Vikes, they have to deal with cross-town rival, the Los Angeles Chargers.
It’s still hard to say, “Los Angeles Chargers” but they will be harder to ignore come Sunday. The Chargers are also more than a few analysts’ favorite to go to the Super Bowl in Atlanta.
Then again, so are the Rams.
Los Angeles also gets to see a likely post-season contender in this early 2018 NFL season in the Chargers, as neither the Oakland Raiders or Arizona Cardinals proved much more than a tune-up to what will be a September ending with two quality opponents.
