Patriots head west looking to get back to .500

FOXBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — The Patriots are headed west in Week 8 to face the Los Angeles Chargers. With a win, the Patriots would move back to .500 on the season.

The Chargers are 4-2 and coming off a bye week. Just last year, the Patriots dominated the Chargers 45-0 at SoFi Stadium. But this is a new Chargers team, starting at the top with first-year head coach Brandon Staley.

“Some of the same players played in the game last year, but overall it’s a different-looking team,” Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said.

Belichick went on to complement the job Staley has done creating positive momentum on the team.
