Game Context

The Chargers remain unbeaten in the preseason after defeating Detroit 34-7 in the Hall of Fame Game and New Orleans 27-13. Head coach Jim Harbaugh is focused on fine-tuning the team before the regular season, paying close attention to Justin Herbert’s rhythm, the defensive strength led by Khalil Mack, and the performance of the rookies.

The Rams, on the other hand, will aim to stop their city rival’s momentum and make adjustments to their offense, which showed inconsistency in their first outing.

What’s at Stake

While it’s still preseason, this matchup will be a test of roster depth and chemistry between starters and backups. The local rivalry factor will also add extra intensity to the contest.

What’s Next

Following this game, the Chargers will wrap up their preseason on August 23 against the San Francisco 49ers, before opening the regular season against the Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil.
