All jokes aside about how Los Angeles Chargers fans don’t exactly pack their home stadium during non-2020 times, there are plenty of heartbroken Bolts die-hards out there.
And after they’ve seen yet another crushing loss on Monday night, you’ve got to feel for them and a team that could have very different fortunes if they didn’t lose so many close games.
An incredible Marshon Lattimore tackle won Monday’s game for the New Orleans Saints 30-27 after the Chargers were up by as much as 17. That’s the second straight week in which Los Angeles blew that big of a lead.
Which brings us to this stat about the last couple of years:
FINAL: Saints 30, #Chargers 27
Anthony Lynn loses another close game in crushing fashion. Chargers are now 3-13 in one-score games since the start of last season.

That’s so awful. A made field goal here, a pass completed there, a tackle not missed here … and the Chargers would be so much better.
Also, this stat is rough:
The Saints trailed by as many as 17 points in their OT win over the Chargers.
They are the 4th team to overcome a 17-point deficit on Monday Night Football since 2010.

And this:
The Chargers are now the 5th team in NFL history to blow 17-point leads in back-to-back games.
No team has ever lost 3 straight games when leading by 17+.

Not exactly the history you want to be making.
