The Chargers head coach went on to say he’s dedicated to figuring out what occurred in Sunday’s sport and retaining his perception instilled in their guys.
On Sunday, the Chargers fell 24-9 to the Rams, and any hope of making the playoffs is all but an afterthought.
The Chargers came into the sport with the lowest-scoring offense in soccer, averaging 15 factors per sport, while being in a five-way tie with the Browns, Seahawks, Vikings, and Commanders — scoring 50% of the time they are in the crimson zone.
All 9 of the Chargers’ factors came off the leg of kicker Cameron Dicker, who nailed three area objectives.
During the ultimate seconds of the second quarter, Justin Herbert threw a hail mary down the area that was caught by Ladd McConkey for a 54-yard reception. Unfortunately, McConkey was a yard shy of it touchdown in the finish zone, as the Chargers came away with out scoring a level.
Herbert completed the sport finishing 24 of 32 passes for 257 yards, throwing two interceptions and taking two sacks.
The Chargers offense was inefficient operating the ball, amassing only 64 yards on the floor, while operating back Kimani Vidal was the staff’s main rusher, operating the ball eight occasions for 23 yards, with Omarion Hampton following for 20 yards on 9 carries.
