The 1965 San Diego Chargers season began with the team trying to improve on their 8–5–1 record in 1964. Head Coach Sid Gillman led the Chargers to their fifth AFL West title with a 9–2–3 record before losing the AFL Championship Game to the Buffalo Bills for the second consecutive season. After that season the Chargers would never make another post-season appearance until nearly a decade after the AFL–NFL merger took place (1979).
