The Los Angeles Chargers take on the New England Patriots in the second AFC matchup of the Divisional Round on Sunday, Jan. 13.
The New England Patriots came up short in their latest bid for a Lombardi Trophy almost a year ago, and while they’re back in the playoff picture, another first-round bye week in the books, they’ve got maybe the most talented team in the AFC standing in their way. With a trip to the conference championship on the line, the Los Angeles Chargers are set to visit Foxborough this Sunday, and they’ve got one thing on their minds: Preventing what’s been done countless times before and stopping the Pats from another deep run.
SERIES HISTORY
The Patriots hold a 24-15-2 all-time series advantage over the Chargers. New England’s most recent win over the Bolts came in Week 8 of the 2017 season. Additionally, Sunday marks the fourth postseason meeting between the teams and the third career playoff matchup between Philip Rivers and Tom Brady.

On paper, the 2018 season was business as usual for the Patriots, who have appeared in a whopping eight of the last 17 Super Bowls behind the perennially dominant pairing of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. For the 10th year in a row and the 16th time in the last 18 seasons, New England finished atop the AFC East, securing a bye with an 11-5 record. Believe it or not, however, that mark was their worst in almost a decade, and while they went undefeated at home, they also lost a pair of late-season heartbreakers and have sometimes struggled to maintain consistency in the passing game.
