It\u2019s gotten ugly for the Chargers, who fell to 0-7 with Sunday\u2019s loss to the cross-town Rams. <\/p>\n
Despite coming off their bye, the Chargers could not get much going offensively under beleaguered coordinator Mike McDaniel. Justin Herbert threw two more interceptions, giving him a league-high 10 through seven games. He was also strip-sacked, which was nearly picked up for a scoop-and-score.<\/p>\n
Having kicked three field goals on Sunday, the Chargers haven\u2019t scored a touchdown since late in the third quarter of their Week 5 loss to the Broncos.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, aware of that and keep working, keep studying,\u201d head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters in his postgame press conference. \u201cIt\u2019s not a familiar position for any of the guys in our locker room, so we\u2019re the only ones who can change it. We are highly motivated and dedicated to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if he\u2019s worried about Herbert\u2019s turnovers, Harbaugh said, \u201cYeah, we\u2019re aware of what the issues are, and we\u2019re the only ones who can fix them.\u201d<\/p>\n
McDaniel will continue to call plays, Harbaugh said. Though pressed on why he\u2019s confident this group can turn it around, Harbaugh did not provide much of a concrete answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, it\u2019s a team effort, and we\u2019re going to look at the film,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to address our issues, where we can get better, and just keep working. That\u2019s highly motivated and dedicated to getting this right.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re the only ones that have the opportunity to change it, to fix it. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do, go back to work. I have not been in this position that many times either, here as a coach. But I know we have to be dedicated ourselves to getting this turned. That\u2019s where we\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chargers will be at home to play the Texans in Week 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s gotten ugly for the Chargers, who fell to 0-7 with Sunday\u2019s loss to the cross-town Rams.
