CHARGERS: Roster | Depth Chart | Stats | Roster Flip-Card (PDF)
The New England Patriots will return to Gillette Stadium this week and will try to break a four-game losing streak when they host the Los Angeles Chargers, who are in the midst of a three-game slide.
The Patriots enter this week's game with a seven-game winning streak against the Chargers, including a 2018 playoff game.

The Patriots will wear throwback uniforms this week for the second time this season. The Patriots wore their throwback uniforms for the first time against Miami on Sept. 17. The uniforms are based on the ones worn from 1984-1992 and then sporadically from 1994-2012 as an alternate uniform. The Patriots will wear red jerseys with white pants and a white helmet featuring the "Pat Patriot" logo with white facemasks. The Patriots are 7-2 when wearing throwback uniforms at home. New England has worn uniforms featuring the old "Pat Patriot" logo at home nine times since switching to the current logo in 1993.

The New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Chargers will meet for the first time since Oct. 31, 2021, when the Patriots prevailed with a 27-24 win in Los Angeles. This week's game between the two original AFL teams will be the first meeting at Gillette Stadium since the Patriots beat the Chargers, 41-28, on Jan. 13, 2019, in a AFC Divisional Playoff game. The Patriots enter this week's game having won the last seven games overall against the Chargers.

New England leads the regular season by a 24-14-2 margin. The teams have met four times in the postseason with the Patriots holding a 3-1 edge.

The New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Chargers are an old AFL rivalry as part of the original eight teams from the American Football League. The Patriots and Chargers met in the 1963 AFL Championship Game played on Jan. 5, 1964, in San Diego with the Chargers taking a 51-10 decision.



The series dates back to 1960, the inaugural season for each team. Bill Belichick is 9-5 in his career against the Chargers in the regular season, including a 8-3 record as the Patriots head coach. He is 3-0 against the Chargers in the postseason, all with New England.

Yep Pats no longer matter to most of the country. :laugh:
The Pats getting flexed out on MNF in 2 weeks speaks volumes.

I believe the Patriots used whatever leverage they have left with the NFL to move the game. ESPN would have a solid rating because of KC and even if the game became a blowout Taylor Swift would be cheering at a venue she has said many times is her favorite. Plus millions of fans who have come to hate the Patriots would enjoy them being thrashed,

Get in price is under $20.
I have said this MANY times in the past few years. If the Patriots don't field a competitive product FANS WILL NOT GO.

Gillette is 10,000 times better than the old stadium BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO DRIVE THERE and unless you have access to Putnam Parkway you have to deal with Route 1.

Yep.

I have been saying for a while now that when the bottom falls out, I’d be glad to scoop up the tickets off of the secondary market and go for cheap.

But the idea of driving down there and back on a Sunday to watch whatever it looks like today with a backup quarterback and multiple receivers injured?

I’m good.

Out of the mix and relegated to 1pm starts for the foreseeable future. (Stupid Thursday Night Football not withstanding)

All that’s missing now is Don Criqui and Beasley Reese on the telecast.
