The Chargers enter their bye week at 0-6, with an offense that ranks among the NFL’s worst and has wasted scoring chances with penalties and execution errors. Coach Jim Harbaugh says the team is reviewing all options, including simplifying the playbook, as Los Angeles looks to make changes before facing the Rams in Week 8.

By the Numbers
  • Record: 0-6
  • Points per game: 15.0, 30th in the NFL entering Week 7
  • At Kansas City’s 1-yard line, the Chargers managed 3 points after a holding penalty and three failed plays.
Yes, But

The offense is the biggest concern, but it isn’t the only problem: the defense has had lapses, and special teams struggled early in the season. Special teams have improved lately, while Harbaugh says the team is considering changes across the offense.

State of Play
  • Harbaugh says “everything” is under review, including offensive play-calling and playbook volume.
  • The Chargers’ next game is against the Rams in Week 8 at SoFi Stadium.
What’s Next

The bye gives Los Angeles time to assess its offense and determine whether to simplify the scheme or adjust how it is practiced and called. The Rams game will be the first test of any changes.

Bottom Line

To end the skid, the Chargers need more than a play-calling tweak: they must deliver a cleaner, more complete game and turn scoring opportunities into touchdowns.
