Chargers Start 3-0 | Best Since 2002!
Chargers Start 3-0 | Best Since 2002!

The Bolts dug deep at SoFi on Sunday, overcoming a 7-point deficit to storm home in the final quarter and snatch victory against the Denver Broncos. Their 3-0 start is the Chargers’ best since 2002 and Coach Harbaugh’s transformative effect is clear for all to see. Facing significant adversity and a likely season-ending injury to RB Najee Harris in the first half, Greg Roman’s Offense found a way to produce two key second half TD drives and, after the Defense forced a three and out, a Cam Dicker walk-off field goal sealed the win 23-20. Herbert was relentlessly pursued by a fierce Broncos pass rush all day but showed steely resolve, unleashing an unbelievable off schedule 20 yd TD strike to Keenan Allen with the game on the line. Join us today on TDU #BoltFam as we breakdown (yet another) big Bolts victory in Season 2025. Don’t miss it!

Mack will be back, but don’t forget about Trey
Mack will be back, but don’t forget about Trey

Khalil Mack will return soon from his elbow injury, but the Chargers can’t afford to sit still. Trey Hendrickson’s contract and production make him the perfect trade target — a proven pass rusher who could elevate Harbaugh’s defense and be worth a back-end 2nd-round pick.

Herbert & Chargers Statement Win v Chiefs in Brazil!
Herbert & Chargers Statement Win v Chiefs in Brazil!

São Paulo, Brazil will hold a special place in Chargers’ fans hearts after Herbert & the Bolts’ 27-21 Wk 1 statement win against the reigning conference winning Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night. In their first victory against Andy Reid & Patrick Mahomes since 2021, Justin Herbert passed for 318 yards, 3 TDs and added 32 yds with his legs, including the 19 yd scamper with 2:14 remaining in the game that sealed victory at Corinthians Stadium. Harbaugh’s Bolts controlled the contest from stat to finish, and whether Herbert’s performance was fuelled by ESPN Ryan Clark’s pre-game comments (‘whenever it matters, [Herbert]’s been terrible’), last season’s disappointing playoff exit at Houston, or his new blossoming off-field romance, the NFL should be terrified of what #10 appears primed to do this season for the Powder Blues. Join us on #TDU as we discuss it all!
