The only logic I could think of why Fox went with the Chargers and not the Rams is that Fox really wanted to show the soccer match and looking at the remaining choices for the later games (Saints/Cardinals, Titans/Buccaneers, Raiders/Bentals), the tv people probably thought the Charger/Lion game was probably going to get the highest tv audience in LA. Personally, I think Saints/Cardinals would've been more fun to watch personally.

I think you're probably right about the afternoon thing.

But a morning Fox game would've most likely been Bears/Packers, that was their A game that got the most markets.
