The Los Angeles Chargers are set to end their three-game skid today against the lonely New England Patriots. 

However, the Bolts will be without six key players for their critical Week 13 matchup. 

LA's starting cornerback, Ja'Sir Taylor, will miss his second consecutive game of the season as he is dealing with an illness. 

Outside of Taylor, the Bolts will have most of their key players on both sides of the ball available, and they're going to need all the help they can get regardless of the opponent. 

The Bolts have struggled mightily against the Patriots in the last decade and a half. In their previous 10 meetings, the Bolts have lost nine of those last 10 matchups to New England, with their last win coming in 2008.

It's long overdue for the Bolts, and hopefully, they will get it done today to get back on the winning track.
