Gobble Gobble


Happy Turkey Day everyone!!! Lets take a look into Chargers history on Thanksgiving Day. The Bolts have not made a Thanksgiving Day appearance since 1969. At that time, the bolts were in the AFL and wore these uniforms. The most notable Charger on the roster this year was Lance Alworth, here is the Chargers Roster form 1969.. In that game the Chargers won 21 to 17 over the Houston Oilers.

In the Chargers history, they have played in 4 Turkey Day games. Their overall record is 2 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie.

1964: Buffalo Bills 27, Chargers 24
1965: Buffalo Bills 20, Chargers 20
1967: Denver Broncos 20, Chargers 24
1969: Chargers 21, Houston Oilers 17

When is the next time the Bolts will get a Turkey Day game? Personally, I would rather have the Bolts play on Sundays. Gives them a few extra days rest.
