Three straight defeats to open the campaign leave Los Angeles Chargers fans absorbing the harsh reality of a completely stalled season. Even amidst mounting public frustration, head coach Jim Harbaugh continues to stand firmly by his offensive unit.
The external evaluation has been severe across the league. The Boston Globe designated the Chargers alongside the Green Bay Packers as the NFL's most significant disappointments so far in 2026, observing that both franchises were supposed to achieve greatness this year.
Inside the building, focus shifts squarely toward the offense's primary leader. The defining question is whether Herbert can validate that locker-room faith and correct the offensive breakdowns before the year slips away entirely.
