The Chargers will travel to Charlotte, NC, on Friday to play the Panthers this Sunday. However, once the game ends, they will not return to Los Angeles.
Jim Harbaugh will have the team stay there instead of taking multiple flights across the country in back-to-back weeks.
The Bolts are slated to face the Steelers in Pittsburgh, PA, in Week 3.
Harbaugh noted that the main factor was the 1 p.m. ET start of both games.
Harbaugh said that he is looking forward to the team bonding.
As a team on the West Coast, the Chargers typically accrue a lot of air miles. Their schedule will span 36 time-zone changes between coasts, and they will travel 26,803 miles overall, the most among teams in the NFL.
