26. Los Angeles Chargers

For the second season in a row, the Los Angeles Chargers (formally San Diego) should have won more games than their record indicates when seeing how many times they lost by single digits. Sadly, this was a major issue for the Chargers during the 2015 season as well, and to see nine of their 11 losses end up being by single digits was one of the most frustrating things in the world to witness.

With that being said, a fresh start in the city of Los Angeles could work wonders for this team with a new head coach and plenty of young talent on both sides of the football. Anthony Lynn finds himself in a better position than most new head coaches since the Chargers seem like a team capable of overcoming their 5-11 finish to become contenders again in the AFC.

No one knows how many solid seasons Philip Rivers has left in him at quarterback after the veteran threw for 33 touchdowns in 2016, but also set a career high with 21 interceptions. Even if this past season didn’t go according to plan, at least Los Angeles has to be thrilled over their young stars on the rise in Melvin Gordon and Joey Bosa.
