After a busy travel schedule for the team in the first part of the year, the Chargers will get a break for a bit of time in the later months of the season.
The team will not leave Los Angeles for nearly a month after returning from Jacksonville in Week 11.
With a bye week and two consecutive home games following that game, the Bolts will not have to travel from November 16th until their Week 15 game in Kansas City on December 14th.
8. Multiple Monday night games
There’s something about the Chargers on Monday night.
They are slated to have two games in the Monday Night Football slot for a fourth consecutive season, as they will visit the Raiders in Week 3 and host the Eagles in Week 14.
The Bolts will play the Raiders in this primetime slot for the first time since the 2021 season, but you have to go back to 2012 to find the last time they went on the road to play them on Monday night. It’s the 12th matchup overall between the teams on Monday
Night Football, with the Chargers holding a 6-5 advantage in those games.
Meanwhile, it will mark the first time they play the Eagles in that primetime slot.
The Chargers regular season will come to a close against another divisional foe.
It will be the first time the Bolts play the last game of the regular season against the Broncos since 2022, and just the second time since the 2018 season, as it will mark the 16th season finale against the Broncos and the eighth to take place on the road.
The Chargers have a 9-6 record in season finales against Denver.
There will be a couple of first-time visitors from the AFC South at SoFi Stadium this year.
When the Texans and Colts play against the Chargers in Los Angeles, it will be both teams’ first time ever playing at the stadium that opened in 2020. Their most recent matchup in Los Angeles came in 2019.
And while the Eagles and Commanders have played at SoFi before, it will be their first time playing against the Chargers there.
