The Chargers offense ranks 20th, and quarterback Justin Herbert has three touchdowns and four interceptions and his passer rating of 73.4 ranks 26th. Los Angeles has more turnovers (six) than touchdowns (five) as a team.<\/p>\n
Coach Jim Harbaugh said he has not considered taking control from offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, we trust Mike. We believe in Mike<\/a>,\u201d Harbaugh said, via Austin Knoblauch of the Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not like Harbaugh has any other option but to publicly give McDaniel a vote of confidence and hope the former Dolphins head coach can fix it.<\/p>\n Harbaugh hired McDaniel this offseason to add a dynamic element to the offense, which hasn\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n While Harbaugh issued his first public criticism of Herbert, saying Monday that Herbert needs \u201cto be better<\/a>\u201d in his decision-making, the head coach hasn\u2019t done the same with McDaniel.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re searching for every possible way to give ourselves an advantage,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cEvery possible way to not beat ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n In his postgame comments, Herbert pushed back against the idea that McDaniel\u2019s scheme is too complex.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s definitely a guy that we need to lean on; he\u2019s done such an incredible job,\u201d Herbert said, via Jonah Bronstein of the Associated Press. \u201cIt\u2019s on us as an offense to run the plays the way he sees them, listen to coaching, and do our job to make those plays. And we haven\u2019t done that for him. So obviously, we feel horrible<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chargers offense ranks 20th, and quarterback Justin Herbert has three touchdowns and four interceptions and his passer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":865346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-865345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=865345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/865346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=865345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=865345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=865345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
