All that is good and bad about the Chargers has been on display as they head into their bye week this week.
Chargers coach Brandon Staley looks on against the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half of a NFL football game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on Sunday, October 1, 2023. at SoFi Stadium. Here’s what we learned, what we heard and what comes next after their second consecutive nerve-jangling victory evened their record at 2-2:One minute, everything clicks and they speed along like a well-oiled machine.
The good Chargers sacked rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell seven times, including a team-record six by Khalil Mack. The bad Chargers were backed up to the goal line for the second straight Sunday. The good Chargers held the line against Josh Jacobs. The bad Chargers needed a bail-out interception to win.
“To be honest, I never felt like we were off track,” he said. “If two games are going to affect our next 15 or so, you’re not going to be very good. I thought our team did a great job of looking at the film, being rational and understanding we have a lot of football left. Everything is still in front of us. I thought our answer to those two losses was great. Everyone came to practice. They gave their best effort. It’s a group of professionals out there. I really appreciate that locker room.
Staley’s willingness to go for it on fourth down late in games and deep in his own territory is a difficult concept to grasp, especially since they failed late against Minnesota and again late against Las Vegas. Interceptions by Kenneth Murray Jr. against the Vikings and Asante Samuel Jr. against the Raiders bailed him out.The Chargers have a bye this week, as good a time as any to pause and reflect on what’s so far been a very newsy opening month of the season.
