20. Los Angeles Chargers (19) – Play on Monday Night vs. Chiefs

After two straight winning seasons, the Los Angeles Chargers have struggled to find their footing in 2019. They enter Monday night with a record of 4-6 and are coming off a frustrating two-point loss to the Oakland Raiders. That moved them close to the bottom of the AFC West standings — which is a far cry from their 12-4 record a year ago.

There’s still enough time for them to get back into the race though, especially considering the fact that the Chiefs, who they face on Monday Night Football, haven’t been as dangerous as they were a season ago. As of now, they’re just 6-4, which means the Chargers could move within a game of the division leaders.

They also finish the season against Kansas City and will have a rematch with the Oakland Raiders the week prior. If that’s not enough reason to believe in themselves, they also play the Denver Broncos one more time.

Of course, they lost to them in Week 5, so really, they need to overcome their 0-2 start in the division more than anything else if they want to salvage this season. If they can’t do that, there’s a big chance that they could move on from quarterback Philip Rivers and try and rebuild their team.
