They finally won the AFL championship in 1963, defeating the Boston Patriots 51-10.

Joining the NFL

Following the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, the Chargers had limited success their first few seasons in the NFL. It was not until 1979 that they reached the playoffs again. However, they lost the 1979 divisional playoffs, once again to the Oilers.
