The Chargers’ tough loss exposed deep flaws across the board—defense couldn’t stop or cover, offense kept making mistakes, and even the coaching staff’s execution was shaky. But special teams? That’s where it really got ugly. J.K. Scott returned after a shaky preseason and delivered a blocked punt that sealed their fate. Head coach Jim Harbaugh called for better coaching and execution, putting pressure on special teams coordinator Ryan Ficken, whose field goal unit has been solid with Cameron Dicker—but recent blunders, especially Scott’s missed tackle and blocked punt, reveal a troubling lack of attention to detail. While Ficken’s job isn’t in immediate jeopardy thanks to his history with the team, his future is now very much up for grabs as special teams becomes an undeniable weak link.
