Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is prone to hyperbole. <\/p>\n

Whether or not he was giving some of that after Sunday\u2019s loss to the Broncos is up for interpretation. But Harbaugh did go to extremes when discussing his decision to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Los Angeles 41 while up 17-10 with 10:33 left in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n

Justin Herbert got stuffed on his run for a turnover on downs. Denver scored a touchdown to tie it, and then two field goals on their next two possessions to win it the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t think of a time where I\u2019ve been more mad at myself<\/a>,\u201d Harbaugh said postgame, via Anthony Gharib of ESPN. \u201cThis team works so hard, played so valiantly. And yeah, I take 100% accountability for making that decision and turned the momentum of the game. So it was the wrong one, and I got to be right on those.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harbaugh added that the Chargers displayed positive characteristics, but the loss is on him for that choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally right now the only thing I can think of is I screwed that up, that\u2019s really the only thing going through my mind,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cBecause the playmaking, the stops, the momentum was in our favor. And yeah, wrong decision. Both of them. When they don\u2019t work, that\u2019s my accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chargers will go to Kansas City next week, looking to avoid a 0-6 start before their Week 7 bye.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh is searching for answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I don\u2019t know what that message is,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cThe players just fight their hearts out, play, give it everything they have. That\u2019s the only way, that\u2019s the best way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is prone to hyperbole.
