Harbaugh Puts Herbert On Notice as Chargers Fall to 0-3

The coach’s public demand that Justin Herbert “be better” raises the stakes for a sputtering offense facing a difficult upcoming schedule.

Overview

  • The Chargers lost 24-16 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, dropping Los Angeles to 0-3 after three games of poor offensive production.
  • Jim Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Herbert must “be better” in his decision-making after the quarterback compiled roughly 627 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions through three games.
  • Harbaugh also gave a public vote of confidence to offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, saying the staff trusts his scheme despite the early struggles.
  • Los Angeles’ offense repeatedly failed to convert defensive takeaways into points, going 1-for-4 in the red zone against Buffalo while miscues such as drops, pre-snap penalties and pass‑problems undermined drives.
  • With tough opponents next on the slate and growing calls for accountability, the Chargers face mounting pressure to fix quarterback play, simplify execution or make personnel or schematic changes quickly.
