San Diego Chargers seasons

San Diego Chargers seasons

es.

The Chargers franchise was founded in 1959 by Barron Hilton and played the 1960 season in Los Angeles as part of the American Football League (AFL). The next season saw the Chargers move to San Diego, becoming the San Diego Chargers. [cite web | title = Chronology | work = chargers.com | url = http://www.chargers.com/history/chronology/ | accessdate = January 15 | accessyear = 2008 ]

The franchise has experienced three major periods of success. The first was from 1960 to 1965, when the Chargers were AFL West champions five times and AFL champions once. The second was from 1978 to 1982, when the Chargers had winning seasons (seasons with more wins than losses) in each of these years, and won three consecutive division championships for the second time in franchise history. The most recent accomplishments range from 2004 to the present, with the franchise reaching the playoffs three times in four years. Their only Super Bowl appearance was in 1994. The Chargers have also experienced two notable periods of decline. From 1983 to 1991, they never placed higher than third in their division and did not make the playoffs. From 1996 to 2003, the team had no winning seasons, and had their worst season ever, winning only one of sixteen games in 2000.cite web | title = San Diego Chargers Franchise Encyclopedia | work = pro-football-reference.com | url = http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sdg/ | accessdate = January 15 | accessyear = 2008 ]

The Chargers have been division champions eight times, all of them in the AFC West. As of 2008, they are the only team since the NFL restructuring in 2002, reducing divisions to four teams, to win the AFC West championship more than once. They have been conference champions six times, but only once since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. As of the end of the 2007 season, the Chargers had played 749 regular and post-season games in 48 seasons, and have appeared in the post-season fifteen times.
