Chargers Endure Consecutive Losses Amid Injury, Penalty Struggles
The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders, marking their second consecutive defeat and exposing several issues including penalties, turnovers, and injuries. The Chargers committed 10 penalties for 85 yards in the game, continuing a troubling trend following 14 penalties the previous week, which Head Coach Jim Harbaugh described as "out of character" mistakes that the team needs to correct. Quarterback Justin Herbert, who has been under heavy pressure with 34 hits and 11 sacks over the last three games, threw an interception and struggled behind a weakened offensive line due to injuries, leading to costly mistakes such as a fumble after a promising 19-yard gain. The team also faced setbacks from special teams errors, including a nullified punt return touchdown due to a roughing-the-kicker penalty. Harbaugh acknowledged the Chargers are still a good team but must improve focus and discipline to stop the "self-inflicted wounds" and has considered unusual lineup changes on the offensive line to address ongoing injuries. Despite standout individual performances, such as Keenan Allen becoming the fastest receiver to reach 1,000 catches, the Chargers' recent struggles highlight the need for better execution and adjustments moving forward.
