With the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, the National Football League looks to have a pretty immediate and bright future in Southern California.
That said, the other team in LA looks to be something of an afterthought despite being a playoff team this season. The Los Angeles Chargers, who finished at 12-4, must be kicking themselves at an opportunity missed when many in the national media had them in the Super Bowl against their city partner the Rams.
Unfortunately, the Chargers were stuck having to make two East Coast swings, first to play the Baltimore Ravens, and then to play the Rams opponent in the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots.
