Overview
- Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium, with coverage on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
- Los Angeles is 3-2 after back-to-back losses marked by double-digit penalties, and coaches emphasized cleaner execution this week.
- Miami enters 1-4 without Tyreek Hill and with a struggling run defense that allowed 206 rushing yards to Rico Dowdle in Week 5.
- Both sides are short-handed: the Chargers placed Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton on IR and ruled out LT Joe Alt, while Miami has multiple starters sidelined or on IR.
- Sportsbooks list L.A. by roughly 4 to 4.5 points with a total near 43–44, and newly acquired edge rusher Odafe Oweh is expected to play to boost the Chargers’ pass rush.
