Complete list of opponents for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022

The Chargers are fighting for a playoff spot to close out the 2021 season. We already have an early look at their 2022 opponents.

The Kansas City Chiefs showed there is still a bit of a gap between them and the rest of the AFC West, but the Los Angeles Chargers are getting closer. Los Angeles has a 9-7 record heading into Sunday night’s regular season finale with the Las Vegas Raiders with a playoff spot on the line. The Chargers lost two games in a row in December to put themselves in a tough spot heading into Week 18.

Justin Herbert continues to prove he is worthy of the franchise quarterback designation, but it was the defense that struggled at times during this season. The Chargers rank No. 24 in yards per play defensively, so that will need to be fixed during the offseason for the franchise to take the next step. Los Angeles has lots of cap space to work with, so they could be active in free agency.
