Connections between NFL teams are common. From college teammates to free agents who have changed teams, there are always former co-workers, friends, coaches, and hometowns that link clubs across the league. For the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers, Week 1 opponents in 2023, there are many connections to explore.
With these two teams, the connections start at the family. Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa is the son of former Dolphins defense end John Bosa and the nephew of former Dolphins linebacker Eric Kuremow. Dolphins defense assistant Steve Donatell is the brother of Chargers defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach Tom Donatell.
