The 1963 San Diego Chargers season began with the team trying to improve on their 4–10 record in 1962. They won their only AFL Championship with a win over the Boston Patriots. Lance Alworth was named the league M.V.P. As of 2011, this is the Chargers' only championship season, AFL or NFL. This is also the most recent world championship ever won by a major league sports team in the city and county of San Diego.
