The Los Angeles Chargers lose 23-17 to the Denver Broncos, extending their winless streak and marking their first 0-5 start since 2003. Multiple outlets focus on Justin Herbert’s performance in the fourth quarter, including a fumble and an interception that contribute to the Chargers failing to close out the game.
As the losing continues, coverage highlights broader concerns beyond Herbert, including offensive execution and protection issues. The Los Angeles Times reports coach Jim Harbaugh acknowledges his decision-making following the defeat, while other reporting notes criticism of whether benching Herbert would fix the team’s problems. Despite the pressure, the team is described as staying committed to Herbert ahead of its next matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, with preparation continuing after another close loss.
