The Patriots had their way with the Los Angeles Chargers during Justin Herbert’s rookie season, winning their 2020 matchup by a score of 45-0.
But this year’s Chargers team is much different, coming into Sunday’s matchup with New England 4-2 and situated as playoff contenders after struggling last season. So as tempting as it is to think the Patriots will roll through this matchup, the Chargers should pose a formidable test for a team looking for its first signature win of the year.
Unlike some of the teams the Patriots have played this season, you don’t have to look hard to find the Chargers players you should be watching.
