Brandon Staley and the Los Angeles Chargers decided that it was best to part ways following the loss to Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football.
The Chargers lost 63-21 as both teams put up points that fans aren’t used to seeing in today’s NFL. The franchise also decided to fire General Manager Tom Telesco.
Staley ends his career with the Chargers with a 24-24 record. His 1st season in 2021, the team went 9-8 and barely missed the playoffs. Last year, Los Angeles made the playoffs at 10-6, but lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card. The Chargers are 5-9 this season following the loss to the Raiders.
