‘I Screwed That Up’: Jim Harbaugh owns costly mistake in Chargers' loss to Broncos

The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a 23-17 loss to the Denver Broncos, despite leading 17-10 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Head coach Jim Harbaugh made a costly mistake by attempting a quarterback sneak on fourth down behind four rookie offensive linemen, including three making their first career starts. The play failed, giving Denver a short field, and ultimately leading to a game-ending touchdown by Bo Nix.

Harbaugh acknowledged the poor decision, saying, "It was a wrong decision. Can't think of a time I've ever been more mad at myself." His honesty and accountability were evident as he took full responsibility for the fateful call.
