Los Angeles Chargers: Philip Rivers has viable weapons at his disposal

The Chargers will be searching for Philip Rivers’ heir apparent but also know they still have time left with their 36-year old quarterback. Rivers doesn’t seem to be slowing down after 14 seasons and is still searching for his first Super Bowl title. Luckily for his sake, Rivers is surrounded by some fantastic weapons on the offensive side of the ball.

We saw the Chargers make a late push for the postseason after a 0-4 start and it was thanks to a high-powered offense led by running back Melvin Gordon and wideout Keenan Allen. After failing to score a touchdown his rookie season in 2015, Gordon exploded on to the scene as one of the best running backs the following season. That didn’t change in 2017. He battled nagging injuries but finished with a career-high 1,105 rushing yards.

Speaking of injuries, Allen returned off a torn ACL and was absolutely dominate. The Comeback Player of the Year couldn’t be covered all season long and looks like one of the AFC’s most promising offensive weapons at just 25-years old. Anthony Lynn’s offensive presence worked wonders for the Chargers offense and look miles ahead of what Mike McCoy was able to do. With Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram wreaking havoc on the defensive side of the ball, the Chargers are definitely a team to watch this season.

You’ll look great all season long with this LA hat from Fanatics.

If they don’t start out slow again, the Chargers could easily find themselves ahead in an AFC West division that’s up for grabs. The AFC as a whole has mediocre in recent years and a hot team like the Chargers could make their way to Super Bowl if the dominoes fall their way.
