Will the Chargers pick up their first win of the season against the Rams on Sunday? 🤔 https://t.co/8mkAhYYWfB Via @YahooSports on X

What happened: The Los Angeles Chargers enter Sunday's game having not played since a 22-6 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 18, when both Los Angeles franchises dropped their Week 6 contests. The Los Angeles Rams improved to 3-4 on Oct. 25 with a 35-21 road win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Los Angeles Rams season leaders through Week 7 — Rams leaders through Week 7 (7 games): Matthew Stafford 1,989 passing yards; Kyren Williams 492 rushing yards; Puka Nacua 485 receiving yards. Graphic: wire.report

Why it matters: Anchored to the No. 16 conference seed on a six-game losing streak, the Chargers have drawn trade calls on veterans and receivers while holding off on seller deals so far. The Rams sit at No. 10 in the standings and can return to .500 with a second straight win.

By the numbers: Chargers: 0-6 record, L6 streak, No. 16 seed, lost 22-6 at Kansas City on Oct. 18. Rams: 3-4 record, W1 streak, No. 10 seed, won 35-21 at Las Vegas on Oct. 25.

What to watch: Sunday's result will shape the Chargers' approach ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
