With the Los Angeles Chargers Week 14 game with the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon approaching, there is decent a chance that they may be in first place in the AFC West after they started off the season 0-4.
The team's turnaround down the stretch is quite surprising, which includes three straight victories by more than one touchdown. Although the game is being played in Los Angeles with major playoff implications, Chargers star wide receiver Keenan Allen doesn't anticipate StubHub Center being much of a home-field advantage when the Redskins come to town.
Allen opened up about visiting teams' fans to Redskins beat writer Master Tesfatsion of the Washington Post on Wednesday after practice.
“It's an away game man,” Keenan Allen said. “We're used to it. It was like that last year in San Diego, and the year before that too. That's just how we see it. Until it changes, we already know what we're up against.”
He isn't necessarily wrong, either. StubHub Center is the smallest stadium in the NFL by a substantial margin with a capacity of about 27,000 fans, but the Chargers still have trouble filling seats.
After Chargers owner Dean Spanos moved the team from San Diego to Los Angeles before this season, many fans were outraged at Spanos and rightfully so. Both the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers have drawn their fair share of criticism this season for not being able to fill seats, as well as the noticeable amount of fans wearing away teams' gear in the stands.
