The San Diego Chargers had an admirable 2008-09 season, winning the AFC West and going deep into the playoffs, and hopes for the 2009-10 season are even higher. The Chargers’ performance was all that more impressive when you consider that star linebacker Shawne Merriman was out for the season due to knee surgery (from which he’s now recovered). For a team with one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Philip Rivers, a stellar running back in LaDanian Tomlinson, a rising star at wide receiver in Vincent Jackson and an elite tight end in Antonio Gates, Super Bowl hopes are not unfounded. Make sure that you catch all the action in person at Qualcomm Stadium with tickets from Coast to Coast!

Some San Diego Chargers history: From 1960 to 1965 the Chargers won five division championships and one league crown in the American Football League (AFL). Wide receiver Lance Alworth set a professional football record by catching at least one pass in 96 consecutive games from 1962 to 1970. During the late 1970s and early 1980s head coach Don Coryell oversaw one of the most explosive offensive units in NFL history. The team was led by quarterback Dan Fouts and wide receiver Charlie Joiner, who both set career team records -- Fouts with 43,040 passing yards and 254 passing touchdowns and Joiner with 586 receptions.
