Going 5-11 definitely isn’t a recipe for excitement, but what were 3 of the most telling stats from of Los Angeles Chargers’ 2016 season that could explain what happened?

If you have the internet, then you probably know that there is a ton of optimism surrounding the 2017 Los Angeles Chargers. This is a franchise that has been a disappointment as of late, but the front office has done a very nice job of replacing coaches and bringing in young talent.

However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some things from last season that need to be addressed and fixed for this team to succeed.

Every team in the NFL goes through tough times, but there have been some things about this Chargers’ squad that has lingered for many, many years. Heck, these have been some of the biggest reasons why this team hasn’t been playoff-relevant in long time.

That being said, not everything was bad last season. There were a few guys who had career-years and that should give every Chargers’ fan hope going into 2017. If these guys can get going again this year, the AFC West will be on notice.
