Charlie Kolar’s Raw Take On Chargers’ 0-8 Collapse
Chargers tight end Charlie Kolar breaks silence on the 0-8 season. See the honest quotes and stats on the epic failure at SoFi Stadium.
The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a devastating 44-22 defeat against the Houston Texans on Sunday, marking their eighth straight loss of the season and bringing their record to 0-8. Tight end Charlie Kolar, who signed a three-year, $24.3 million deal in the offseason, expressed his shock upon learning that the team had gone 37 drives without scoring a touchdown.
Kolar admitted that the mental and emotional toll of such a losing streak is immense, stating he "didn’t even know that we hadn’t scored (a touchdown) in that long." The front office, however, has been slow to acknowledge the dire situation, refusing to trade key players like Justin Herbert, Khalil Mack, and Ladd McConkey. This denial has only fueled fan frustration, with some attendees wearing paper bags over their heads to hide their shame.
Quarterback Justin Herbert, who finally broke the 37-drive scoring drought with a touchdown against the Texans, must now lead the team as it faces a critical juncture heading into the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
