The 2024 season was the Los Angeles Chargers' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their ninth in the Greater Los Angeles Area, their fifth playing their home games at SoFi Stadium, and their first under head coach Jim Harbaugh[1] and new general manager Joe Hortiz. The Chargers improved on their 5–12 record from 2023 following a Week 10 victory against the Tennessee Titans. With a win over the New England Patriots in Week 17, the Chargers clinched a wild card spot, returning to the playoffs after a one-year absence, but lost to the Texans by a score of 32–12 in the Wild Card round. The Chargers' strong defense finished the season with only 301 points allowed, the fewest in the league.[2][3]
This is the first season since 2012 without wide receiver Keenan Allen on the roster, as he was traded to the Chicago Bears on March 14. This made Joey Bosa and Denzel Perryman the last players that are on the Chargers during their time in San Diego.[4]
