The Los Angeles Chargers lose on Sunday and fall to 0-2, creating an unwanted piece of NFL history that has not occurred in roughly a century, according to reports. Both outlets describe the start as a first for the franchise in the modern era.
The New York Post and Newsweek characterize the development similarly, framing it as a “wrong kind” of record tied to the team’s early-season results. Neither source provides additional detail in the supplied text on the specific statistic, how it is measured, or which past season it references. The emphasis in both accounts is on the franchise’s winless start and the rarity of the outcome compared with historical NFL records.
