Question

What are the three NFL teams that are named after types of horses?

Answer

Broncos, Colts, Chargers. With Los Angeles, many tend to think of electricity, credit cards and lightning bolts, but a charger is a horse trained for battle -- a calvary horse -- and that was the original thinking with the mascot. You see a white horse on some of the early markings of the team.

Based on the official team website I think you're down to two. While you may find some speculative articles that the idea of a horse was part of it the most weight is given to what the team says themselves. Unless the Rams are also named after a pickup truck. LOL
