Chargers schedule features a lot of travel miles
You never quite know what you are going to get when you are a team located on one of the coastlines, but the Chargers have a lot of travel to deal with during the 2023 season. It could be worse given the composition of the schedule with games against the AFC East and NFC North, but Los Angeles is going to be all over the map this season. Projections seem to be all over the map as well, as QB Justin Herbert readies for the final season of his rookie deal with a $29 million option already picked up for 2024.

Los Angeles Chargers schedule this year
After a pretty boring offseason with limited salary cap wiggle room, the Chargers stare down a schedule that features six games against AFC West foes, plus four games against each of the AFC East and NFC North. That means trips to visit the Packers, Jets, Patriots, and Vikings, along with a trip to Music City to take on the Titans as part of the second-place package assigned by the NFL. Those are five long trips for the Chargers, but at least the Bills, Dolphins, Lions, and Bears have to go to Inglewood, along with the Ravens and Cowboys as the other teams on the second-place slate.
Hopefully the Chargers are good because they’ll be shown six times in primetime games to a national audience.
