Fading Los Angeles Chargers Continue To Slide With No End In Sight
Injuries and penalties have weakened the offensive line, leading to 16 sacks on Justin Herbert, contributing to the Chargers’ recent 2-game losing streak, coach Jim Harbaugh said.
- The Los Angeles Chargers fell to the Washington Commanders 27-10 on Sunday, marking their second consecutive loss and dropping their record to 3-2.
- This slide followed a week where the Chargers lost 21-18 to the previously winless New York Giants after falling behind early and struggling to rally.
- Offensive line instability and numerous injuries, including rookie running back Omarion Hampton being placed on injured reserve, have forced major lineup changes.
- Herbert has been brought down behind the line of scrimmage 16 times this season, and the Chargers were penalized 24 times across their two defeats to NFC East teams; Harbaugh acknowledged they must address their ongoing issues with penalties.
- With four of their next six games against teams with winning records, continued mistakes could jeopardize the Chargers' playoff hopes.
