Overview: The Chargers lost eight
games by four points or less last season.
With Jim Harbaugh making better decisions, they should be able to turn some
of those losses into wins. The Chargers
parted ways with running back Austin
Ekeler and receivers Keenan Allen and
Mike Williams. But they are set at quarterback with Justin Herbert and still
have good weapons.
