SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The thrilling comeback that transpired during Thursday Night Football's matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs was astounding, nobody can argue that.
But whether or not Chargers fans — past and present — were excited for it is a different story, according to a new SurveyUSA poll.
The survey polled San Diego adults regarding the Thursday night win by the Bolts, whether they are still a fan, and if they hope the team prevails through the NFL playoffs.
