Chargers coach Harbaugh pushes back on suggestion offensive changes needed after latest struggles
The Chargers are 0-3 and have scored fewer touchdowns than turnovers, deepening concerns about the offense’s fit under Mike McDaniel.
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Chargers fell 24-16 to the Buffalo Bills, dropping to 0-3. Despite growing concerns, head coach Jim Harbaugh rejected suggestions of making immediate offensive changes.
- Harbaugh hired offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel this offseason to add dynamic elements to the Justin Herbert-led offense; however, the unit has committed six turnovers while scoring only five touchdowns through three weeks.
- The offensive line finished with a 34.8% pass block win rate Sunday. Quarterback Herbert admitted, "I need to play better," while left tackle Rashawn Slater said, "We got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot."
- While the defense forced five takeaways, the offense failed to capitalize on a pivotal fourth-quarter interception. Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson noted, "Teams like that don't know how to finish as well."
- The Chargers are off to their worst start since 2017, and frustrated wide receiver Ladd McConkey stated, "I think everybody should be pissed off." The team faces mounting pressure to rectify these offensive struggles.
