Good morning, Chargers fans!
After the second NFL Sunday of the 2025 season, the Chargers and Raiders will now have higher stakes for their matchup tonight on Monday Night Football. The winner will not only hold sole possession of the division at 2-0, but they’ll be a full two games above the Chiefs.
I don’t recall the last time that has happened in this division, but either way, a two game lead over KC — at any point — is something to fight and claw for.
With the Broncos also losing to the surprising
Colts, the loser will still be tied for second and a full game ahead of the Chiefs. Of course, the goal is to win, but the Bolts are at least primed to snag some excellent momentum early on in the new season.
And now for today’s links.
