Harbaugh says Chargers will evaluate everything after 22-6 loss to Chiefs drops them to 0-6
(AP) — Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh vowed to look at every aspect of his operation — including new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel — after a 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday that sent Los Angeles winless into its bye.The only other team without a victory this season is Miami, which was on its own bye this week.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has pledged to scrutinize every facet of his team's performance following a 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving Los Angeles winless at 0-6. The only other team without a win this season is Miami, which has also been idle this week. Harbaugh stated, "We're in a position of needing to look forward and evaluate every part of what we're doing."
This includes the coaching staff, offensive strategies, and execution across the board. The Chargers, who had previously posted two 11-win seasons, are now facing their worst start since 2000. Three of their losses have been by more than one possession, and they've only scored 17 points once, against Seattle. Quarterback Justin Herbert turned the ball over eight times, including a critical interception that directly led to a touchdown for the Chiefs.
The offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, has come under scrutiny, but Harbaugh emphasized that the team's failure is a collective issue. He refused to attribute the losses to injuries, as several key players are either injured or inactive, including starting offensive linemen and several defensive players. Harbaugh stressed, "There's no justification.
There's nothing I would say that wouldn't sound like an excuse. I'm opposed to that to the core, and pointing fingers." The team has a bye week ahead, and Harbaugh urged the players to use this time to regroup and prepare for the upcoming challenges.
