Two weeks into 2025, the Los Angeles Chargers are 2-0 in the AFC West after beating Kansas City and Las Vegas, riding Justin Herbert’s peak form and a defense that’s buzzing. They host Denver next, chasing a 3-0 loop and real respect in a loaded league. Connor Orr’s SI rankings place LA at No. 6, just behind the Bills, Eagles, Packers, Ravens, and Lions, signaling a growing belief that this team can contend if they stay sharp.
