  "account": "The Los Angeles Chargers began their season with an 0-2 record after falling to the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Justin Herbert expressed frustration after a play in the third quarter where a snap hit the ground, forcing the Chargers to punt. Quarterback coach Shane Day was visibly frustrated as well. Harris admitted the snap was \"a little late\" and tried to jump on it but the mistake cost them the drive. The offense has struggled with mistakes, fumbles, lack of awareness, dropped passes, interceptions, and penalties, all of which have been attributed to the team not meeting their own standards. Head coach Jim Harbaugh remains unfazed, stating that the team must fight to improve. The players are confident they can fix the issues, but the offensive performance has been far from what was expected entering the season.",
  "summary": "The Sporting Tribune's Fernando Ramirez writes about how the Chargers offense has been so bad they sit at 0-2 with more questions than answers but the team believes they can fix it.",
