Jim Harbaugh to 'address everything' after latest loss drops Chargers to 0-6, leading to more Mike McDaniel questions
The Chargers "have to address everything, and especially offensively," Jim Harbaugh said on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a significant blow with their 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, pushing them to a 0-6 record, the worst start since 2000. Following the dismal performance, head coach Jim Harbaugh acknowledged that they must address multiple issues, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Harbaugh, who played for the team during its 1-15 season in 2000, emphasized that "we'll watch this and get with our offensive coaches" to figure out what went wrong.
The offense struggled, as they only managed six points, a season-low, and averaged just 15 points per game. Quarterback Justin Herbert, the team's leading rusher with 26 yards, threw five touchdowns and eight interceptions, his worst performance of the season thus far. Harbaugh stressed that the team's effort was commendable, but the lack of translation from practice to the field needs to be addressed.
The Chargers are the only two teams in the league still without a win this season, with the Miami Dolphins also remaining winless. Historically, only one team has ever made the playoffs after an 0-4 start, and none has done so after six straight losses. While Harbaugh refrained from directly blaming offensive coordinator Mike McDaniels, he indicated that changes may be on the horizon, with former Dolphins and New York Jets head coach Adam Gase, now serving as the Chargers' pass game specialist, potentially filling the role temporarily.
