The Los Angeles Chargers will be eager to get back on the winning track following a tough defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens last Monday night, but a road game against the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons will be no easy task.
Historically, the Falcons have been a tough matchup for the Chargers, even if the two teams have met only 12 times in the regular season. In recent years, the Chargers have made things more respectable, having won the last three meetings against the Falcons. Prior to that, the Falcons had won eight of nine matchups with the Chargers’ only victory coming back in November of 1988.
To date, the Falcons hold an 8-4 series edge. But the Chargers have won in their last two trips to Atlanta.
