In the first weekend where Los Angeles had two NFL teams for the first time since 1994, it went off with a whimper. Not only did both the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers lose their home openers, but their attendance was woeful. Between the two teams, they drew less than the Texas-USC the night before. This is the worst case scenario for the National Football League especially with the issues in Carson.

Now, USC had their first sellout in four years due to Texas traveling extremely well, but still, that’s not a good look for either the Rams or the Chargers. Problems are deeper with Philip Rivers’ bunch. All of the players complained most of cheers were coming from Dolphins fans, and there were not many Chargers fans at the stadium. Yikes. The only good news is the Rams fought Washington tough and have a look of an actual playoff team.
