61st season in franchise history
The2020 season was theLos Angeles Chargers ' 51st in theNational Football League (NFL), their 61st overall, their fifth in theGreater Los Angeles Area , and their fourth and final season underhead coach Anthony Lynn . It also marks the Chargers' first season playing their home games atSoFi Stadium inInglewood (which the team shares with theLos Angeles Rams ), after usingDignity Health Sports Park inCarson as their temporary home stadium for the previous three seasons. This is also the Chargers' first season since2007 with new uniforms, which were unveiled on April 21, 2020. The uniforms are somewhat similar in design to the ones they donned during their inaugural season in 1960.
After mutually agreeing to part ways, this was the first season since2003 without quarterbackPhilip Rivers on the roster and the first since2005 without Rivers as the starting quarterback. Rivers led the Chargers to six playoff appearances, starting every game since September 11, 2006. Backup quarterbackTyrod Taylor was named starter, but following a medical mishap prior to week 2, he was replaced by rookieJustin Herbert . After a 45–0 loss to theNew England Patriots in Week 13, the Chargers were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive year. However, despite this, the Chargers rallied and won their last four games, bringing their record to 7–9, improving on their5–11 season from the previous year.
At the conclusion of the 2020 season, the organization announced that Lynn wasfired as head coach.[ 1] AP Offensive Rookie of the Year .
Undrafted free agents [ edit ] Despite signing a plethora of UDFAs (undrafted free agents), all were released during the initial roster cuts.
