Joe Alt states the obvious issue holding Chargers back from winning

The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a devastating 0-7 start on Sunday, losing 24-9 to the Rams at SoFi Stadium. This marks the worst opening to a young NFL career for head coach Joe Alt, who has experienced the playoffs every season under Jim Harbaugh. After the game, Alt expressed bluntly that the team needs to score more points, emphasizing that it cannot solely rely on field goals, but rather touchdowns.

The Chargers have been struggling offensively, going through nine consecutive quarters without scoring a touchdown. During this troubling sequence, the Rams forced the Bolts into multiple field goals, contributing to their defensive inefficiency along with the Kansas City Chiefs in the previous two weeks. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has faced criticism for the team's offensive struggles, but Harbaugh remains confident in his play calling abilities.

Despite the offense's lackluster performance, yielding only 295 total yards and 64 rushing yards, placekicker Cameron Dicker has emerged as the consistent scorer.
