    (OT) What is YOUR Favorite ALL-TIME Regular Season Chargers Game?

    I would love it if you guys would post link(s) to YOUR favorite Chargers regular season game (all-time). Or just write about your favorite game if no video is available. That would be awesome!

    I don't think I ever saw this game until just now. This one is my favorite EVER (for now). I'm not a huge offense fan. Never have been. This game was all about toughness as far as I'm concerned. That's what I like watching from my favorite team. It was a 1989 Chargers home game vs. the very talented Eagles.

      Difficult to forget that one
      33-30 win on a late FG
      This play has been resumed 3 or 4 times because penalties
      And I was there !

              There are so many-

              The 1979 game in which the Chargers crushed the defending champ Steelers in a beatdown nobody saw coming, the game that made a Chargers fan and a Dan Fouts worshiper.

              The 2006 comeback wins Rivers & LT engineered against the Broncos and Bengals in back to back weeks.

              The 2017 Thanksgiving game in Dallas where Rivers abused the Cowboys' secondary and the Chargers' secondary abused Dak Prescott.

              All three of Herbert's wins over the Nix Broncos.

              Last year's win over Philly, when the Chargers' D abused Jalen Hurts, causing him to thrown and INT and lose a fumble on the same play, something that has never happened before in the history of the league, then sealing the OT win when Hart tipped a Hurts pass at the goal line and Tony Jefferson INT'd it.

                I thought of these same two from Velo (although i was 10 years old for the Steelers game, i barely remember it, but know it was a huge game):

                Velo: The 1979 game in which the Chargers crushed the defending champ Steelers in a beatdown nobody saw coming, the game that made a Chargers fan and a Dan Fouts worshiper.

                Velo: The 2006 comeback wins Rivers & LT engineered against the Broncos and Bengals in back to back weeks.

                adding three more:

                1. Kellen Winslow 5 TD's vs. the Raiders in '80 or '81

                2. LT's OT run for a TD to crush the Raiders in Oakland (i was at the game, thanks goodness i didn't wear chargers gear - would not have survived).

                3. i was a kid, but John Jefferson vs the Raiders was a highlight reel for a handful of games. still one of my favorite chargers ever.

                  December 11, 1982

                  Final Score: San Diego Chargers 41, San Francisco 49ers 37

                  This one takes me back to my youth. I LOVED this offense so much and, of course, Fouts besting Joe Montana and my hometown 49ers in a shootout.

                    This was the 2002 game in Oakland, here it is. I shoulda had that game on my list. That game was a turning point for the Chargers-Raiders rivalry. Before that game, the Raiders dominated the Chargers. Since that game, the Chargers have dominated the Raiders. The Chargers were fighting to remove the stench of Ryan Leaf and the 1-win 2000 season, 2002 was the first year of Marty Ball. It was during a short period of time in the early 2000s the Raiders were an elite team and the team to beat in the AFC, nobody was expecting the Chargers to win that game. Nobody. I watched that game in a Raiders bar that my bro had taken me too. He plied me with drinks, when LT broke away and scored the winning TD in OT. I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating. The Raiders did manage to make it to the SB that season, but got embarrassed big time by the Bucs. But starting with that game, the Chargers are 34-14 against the Raiders and have swept the Raiders in 14 of the 24 seasons from 2002-2025.

                      Here's my favorite regular season game:

                      2006, Week 10. Chargers at Cincinnati. Down 35-7 at the half, the Bolts come back to win. L.T., Manumaleuna, Keenan McCardell all played huge roles.

                      Unable to upload! Bummer!

                      I viewed the vid in YouTube. Can someone do me a solid and find it there, then post it here? Many thanks!

                        I remember I saw the end of that game. The Chargers was not on TV that day but at the end of the game presented, the commentator at NBC said he has not the right to present the end of the Chargers game but it was so good that he did it !!!!!
