| (MySportsbook) - The San Diego Chargers will find themselves in a strangely familiar position when the notoriously slow starters visit Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday for a divisional matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. For a third consecutive year, the Chargers have lost three of their first five games to begin a season, although that hasn't been a hindrance to the team in the past. San Diego went on to capture the AFC West title in both of those campaigns by displaying a strong finishing kick, having gone 9-0 |

Last year, the New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers spent about a week in London to get acclimated.

Really good.'' Last year, the New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers spent almost a week in London getting acclimated to the time change, but the Patriots and Buccaneers arrived late - much like the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins did two years ago. ``What we tried to do was to get all our work done in New Engla |

A team in Los Angeles would likely be an existing one that relocates from another city, as the league has kept a longstanding stance against further expansion. Among the teams rumored to be targeted for a move to Los Angeles include the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers. |

Now that Kansas City's tour through the NFC East is over, the AFC West-rival San Diego Chargers are next on the docket before the November 1 bye week.

The Steelers have taken advantage of a bit of a soft spot in their schedule, too. After a 10-point win over the San Diego Chargers in Week 4, Pittsburgh saw a golden opportunity to get over .500 with pending games versus Detroit and Cleveland. Mission accomplished after two wins in which Roethlisberger has thrown for 694 yards and five touchdowns. He has seven scoring strikes o |
