San Diego Chargers 1987 Team Photo

The 1987 San Diego Chargers season saw the “Re-Chargers” Strike squad start the season 8–1, with victories over playoff teams Indianapolis and Cleveland. After the regulars came back they wound up losing their final six games of the season, narrowly missing the playoffs. All but one of their final six losses came to teams that made the postseason in 1987. The strike of 1987 reduced the regular season schedule from sixteen to fifteen games. Of note, this was the final season for Chargers quarterback Dan Fouts, who had been with the team since 1973, had led the league in passing four times, and who retired only the third quarterback in history to pass for more than 40,000 yards. Also retiring after the season was tight end Kellen Winslow—ending his career that began in 1979
