Los Angeles Chargers drop 2025 schedule — here's how to get home game tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. It's been six long seasons since the Los Angeles Chargers won a postseason game. In 2024, quarterback Justin Herbert and Co. did everything they could to reverse that trend by going 11-6 in the regular season to advance to the playoffs. Then, in the wild-card round, things looked good after the first quarter when they went up against the Texans, 6-0. Unfortunately, their opponents went on a tear and won, 32-12. 'They were the better team today,' head coach Jim Harbaugh said in a postgame press conference. To bolster the roster, general manager Joe Hortiz got down to business in the offseason, bringing back fan-favorite wide receiver Mike Williams, and signing running back Najee Harris, guard Mekhi Becton, defensive tackle Da'Shawn Hand and cornerback Donte Jackson. Plus, the franchise drafted UNC running back Omarion Hampton, University of Mississippi wideout Tre Harris and University of Oregon defensive lineman Jamaree Caldwell. And now that the 2025 schedule has officially been released, we know what's in store for the talented team. Huge home games at SoFi Stadium include matchups against the Denver Broncos (Sept. 21), Washington Commanders (Oct. 5), Minnesota Vikings (Oct. 23) and Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles (Dec. 8). And yes, the Chargers will get a chance to redeem themselves against the Houston Texans in the final game of the regular season.

The Detroit Lions dropped their 2025 schedule. Get home game tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The Detroit Lions are hungrier than ever. In January, Dan Campbell's team's dominant season came to a heartbreaking surprise end when they lost 45-31 to the upstart Washington Commanders in the divisional round. Their defeat was particularly upsetting considering Jared Goff and Co. finished the regular season with a sparkling 15-2 record — in a crowded NFC North division, no less — which positioned them as Super Bowl favorites. Now, the squad heads into 2025 without defensive end Za'Darius Smith and cornerback Carlton Davis III, adding another roadblock toward the franchise's first Lombardi Trophy. Still, Campbell thinks the Lions are up to the task. 'We've seen the ups and downs, we've been through it, so this is the next challenge,' Campbell said, according to The Athletic. 'So if you say, well, you lost this guy, this guy, this guy — that to me is a slap in the face of the guys in that locker room.' If you want to root on the guys in that locker room (which still includes perennial stars Goff, David Montgomery, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Penei Sewell and Sam LaPorta), tickets are available for all eight games at Detroit's Ford Field on Vivid Seats. That includes biggies against the Minnesota Vikings (Nov. 2), Green Bay Packers (Nov. 27, aka Thanksgiving) and Dallas Cowboys (Dec. 4). Not familiar with Vivid Seats?
