Overview
- Jim Harbaugh repeatedly declined to back offensive coordinator Greg Roman, saying he did not have that answer after the loss to New England.
- Los Angeles mustered 207 yards, went 1-for-10 on third down, allowed six sacks and lost a fumble as Justin Herbert finished 19-of-31 for 159 yards with no touchdowns.
- Season-ending injuries to tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt forced nine offensive-line combinations that struggled to protect Herbert.
- Roman-led offenses in playoff starts by Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert are 1-5 with 55% completion, two touchdowns and eight interceptions, prolonging scrutiny of his postseason results.
- With significant cap space and only 36 players under contract, the Chargers face decisions on offensive leadership and interior-line personnel, with possible cuts such as Mekhi Becton and Bradley Bozeman cited in reports.
