For the Chargers, the first two games were a disaster
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Jim Harbaugh's third season as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers has started poorly, with two consecutive home losses to teams that had very low winning percentages last season.
- The Chargers lost 26-14 to both the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders, making them only the second NFL team in history to lose back-to-back home games to teams with sub-.200 winning percentages the previous year.
- Historically, teams starting 0-2 with both losses at home rarely recover to make the playoffs, with only two teams achieving this in NFL history, highlighting the challenge ahead for the Chargers.
- The Chargers face a tough upcoming schedule with four difficult road games before a bye week, and a continued losing streak could jeopardize Harbaugh’s tenure with the team.
- Despite the grim outlook, the NFL’s unpredictable nature leaves some hope, but a significant turnaround is necessary to avoid potential organizational changes.
