Chargers going long – 11,000 miles and a continent away
Oct. 12 (UNION-TRIBUNE)
Instead of taking things “one game at a time” – in keeping with the mantra of Norv Turner and virtually every other head coach in the history of American sport – the Chargers are being forced by the NFL's global-outreach program to expand their own focus over the next 10 days. Hereafter, the Chargers are taking games one continent at a time.
Given the Chargers' road woes this year, if feasible, Turner would have the entirety of the United Kingdom somehow towed over to the Pacific side of the United States to facilitate the Oct. 26 game between the Chargers and New Orleans Saints at Wembley Stadium.
