The Chargers finished last in the AFC West last year. Now, the Chargers are going to be looking towards improving on the year, but that could be a challenge since the Chargers did not resign Rivers. What is even worse is the Chargers did not really make any changes to make their defense look better either.

The offense for the Chargers will likely rely on a combination of quarterbacks. The Chargers have signed Tyrod Taylor, but also drafted Justin Herbert. Herbert should be the future of the franchise, but he could be thrown into the fire rather quickly here as the Chargers could have some struggles early on in the year. No matter who is throwing the ball the Chargers have a great target in Keenan Allen for getting the ball down the field to.

The defense for the Chargers is coming into the game and should look very impressive. The Chargers have Joey Bosa to hold down the edge pass rush, which will help out quite a bit. The big question mark, though, is if the Chargers defensive backfield can hold the opponents in check long enough for the line to get into the quarterback to make the sacks.

Special teams for the Chargers is not much to really be worried about. The Chargers special teams players have been somewhat consistent, but the Chargers are one team that has not really made any moves to get the special teams players who could really make the game into the winning games and more often than not could end up blowing the big game at the end of it.
