Despite their tumultuous start to the 2017 NFL season, the Los Angeles Chargers are looking to end the year on a high note after winning five of their last six games. Their performance as of late has been a far cry of the Chargers' struggles to start the year.
Of course, it all began with their relocation from San Diego to Los Angeles. While undergoing such a transformation in an offseason is not ideal, head coach Anthony Lynn feels it made them tougher as a football team, according to ESPN's Eric D. Williams
“It’s inconvenient, I will admit that,” Lynn said. “But like we’ve said all along, we talked about the relocation up front. We talked about the training camp mechanics that we had, and we talked about playing at the StubHub.
“But we also talked about using all of that to bring us together, to make us closer and to make us tighter. And I just think going through all of those situations is not ideal, but I think it’s made us a tougher football team.”
The Chargers started the season 0-4 after a string of heartbreaking losses. Furthermore, it quickly became apparent that they would virtually have no home-field advantage when it came to playing at the StubHub Center.
Despite the continuous scathing criticism the franchise has received, the Chargers nearly found themselves on the verge of stealing the AFC West title from the Kansas City Chiefs. It is clear that Lynn has done a nice job of getting his team to block out the noise down the final stretch of the season.
