Happy victory Monday, Vikings fans! While you were reading this introductory sentence, the Chargers somehow just turned the ball over again.
We knew going in that the “other” Los Angeles team had lots of talent but couldn’t get out of their own way most of the season. On Sunday, it felt like they were flaunting their self-destructive tendencies at times. Despite going 6-for-11 on third down and out-gaining the Vikings by a yard, the Chargers turned the ball over seven times en route to a 39-10 blowout. In my preview of the game, I wrote about how both fan bases perpetually lived in fear of the other shoe dropping.
