In the 236th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, host D. Orlando Ledbetter (@DorlandoAJC) of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution takes a look at the Los Angeles Chargers, who appear to have their quarterback of the future in Justin Herbert. However, in the fourth season under Anthony Lynn, they have fallen on hard times. They were 12-4 and went to the playoffs in 2018, but have gone 8-20 since while suffering a rash of key injuries and absolutely abysmal play on special teams.
