Chargers’ Rough Start, Bright Spots Ahead | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers stumbled to a 14-26 loss to the Cardinals, exposing shaky execution and a struggling QB-coordinator chemistry, but rookie Ladd McConkey shined with 82 yards and a TD. Despite sloppy play and a tough defensive test against a surprisingly energized Cardinals squad, the talent is there — Herbert spread the ball to five receivers, and the offense has weapons. The defense, still adjusting under new coordinator Chris O’Leary, needs time to gel. With key players returning from injury, the running game could become a strength. Next up: a tough Raiders matchup on Sept. 20 — but the Chargers are focused on fixing their systems and proving they’re more than just a disappointing opener.
