San Diego Chargers 1975: A Game-by-Game Guide

Now you can relive the Chargers' memorable 1975 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the opening day devastation at the hands of the Steelers through the equally lopsided loss to the Bengals in Week 14, as told in the original newspaper stories.

After 11 weeks of the 1975 season, the Chargers were poised to set history of the worst sort. At 0-11, they were three losses away from becoming the first 0-14 team ever. San Diego managed to win, not once but twice, but the '75 campaign still went down as one of the lowest points in the franchise's history. Still, there were some highlights along the way, including a road win over the Chiefs for that long-awaited first victory, a triumph over Joe Namath and the Jets and an awesome rookie class (Fred Dean, Louie Kelcher, "Big Hands" Johnson and more) that would soon have the Bolts among the NFL's elite.

All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Tommy Prothro's posse as it crashed hard, setting the stage for a remarkable revival in the years to follow.

As an added bonus, links to many video highlights are included to add more depth to the story of the 1975 Chargers. Whether you are a die-hard Chargers fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1975 San Diego Chargers.
