Chargers Aim for Historic 3rd Straight Playoff Run | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Los Angeles Chargers are primed for a breakout 2026 season, aiming for their third straight playoff run with a revamped offense led by Justin Herbert and a fresh offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel. ESPN’s Ben Solak ranks them fourth overall in watchability—top AFC team—and they’re loaded with speed and talent: Keaton Mitchell, Omarion Hampton, and healthy Ladd McConkey at receiver. The defense, now coached by Chris O’Leary, may dip slightly but could thrive with the offense scoring fast and big. Behind-the-scenes moves include signing Patrick Herbert to the practice squad, bringing back key players like Junior Colson, and surprising trades. With Herbert and Derwin James as captains, the Chargers are all-in on making a deep postseason run and proving they’re elite.
