Super Bowl LI will likely go down as one of the greatest games ever played, with the New England Patriots coming back from a 28-3 deficit to win it 34-28 in overtime, giving QB Tom Brady his fifth Super Bowl win.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers were watching from their couch. And since this is a Chargers blog, we’re going to play a little Chargers game. Here’s a crossword puzzle to satisfy your Chargers craving for the day.

Only last names are used for player/coach answers. This should take a true Chargers fan less then five minutes to solve. If it takes you longer than 15 minutes, please bow your head in shame.

Enjoy!
