How to watch Falcons vs. Chargers in Week 14

It’s the 4-8 Falcons against the 3-9 Chargers in a battle of teams that know how to lose in spectacular fashion.

For once, the Falcons will be playing a late afternoon game, one that they’ll travel to California to take part in. Their Week 14 matchup will be their easiest the rest of the way, pitting them against a 3-9 Chargers team fresh off a 45-0 loss. That doesn’t mean we can feel comfortable, of course.

The truth is both of these teams have found ways to lose games you’d think they’d more or less have to win, which makes this matchup one with the potential to go weirdly sideways. Below, you’ll find the schedule and channel info you need to catch this one, but I’d go in with no expectations given how crazy this one could end up being.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Los Angeles Chargers, Week 14

When: Sunday, December 13, 4:25 p.m. EST

Where: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California

Channel: FOX

Announcers: Joe Davis, Brock Huard, Jenny Taft

Streaming: FOXSportsGo

Radio: 92.9 The Game

Key Questions: Will the Falcons passing game, which has gone from a slight underperformer to an active liability, find any success against a tough Chargers defense? Can Justin Herbert dig out from an ugly 45-0 loss to the Patriots by feasting on a Falcons secondary that might be down Ricardo Allen? Who will blow this game in spectacular fashion in the final minutes?

Prediction: The Falcons win this one, likely ridiculously and in narrow fashion late in the game. Let’s say Falcons 30, Chargers 28, with Koo accounting for another three field goals.
