The Los Angeles Chargers are finally receiving praise as one of the most promising teams in football due to the team’s Super Bowl qualities.

Last season, the Los Angeles Chargers went 9-7 and easily could have gone 12-4. The Chargers played great and gave every team a run for its money but could not come out on the good end of kicking woes or plain luck.

Two muffed kicks and the Chargers would have been 11-5. Better management in the Jacksonville game and the team would be 12-4. Not missing any field goals against the Eagles and the Chargers would have been 13-3.

Once the Chargers were in the playoffs, they would have been deadly. Los Angeles matched up nicely with every team in the playoffs and even could have given the New England Patriots a run for their money. While it was a longshot, the Chargers were much better than the record indicated.

Thus, the 2018-2019 season has become one full of promise for Chargers fans. Building off of last year, the promise of this team is sky high. This is the team’s best shot at making the Super Bowl since the LaDainian Tomlinson days.

There are many things that distinguish a Super Bowl team from its peers. Luckily for the Chargers, the team has three very distinguishable, favorable, traits.
