Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers remain winless, but who’s really to blame? Wide receiver drops have cost Herbert 127 passing yards—third most in the NFL—raising questions about whether Quentin Johnston and the struggling receiving corps are costing the Chargers key drives and crucial games. With the Chargers’ team receiving grade dead last per PFF and top receiver Ladd McConkey sidelined, Herbert is often left without reliable targets. On top of receiver woes, the Chargers’ offensive line is collapsing under pressure. Four rookie starters, poor pass block win rates against the Chiefs, and 21 sacks in just six games have left Herbert exposed and the run game stalling. The return of injured linemen like Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater could bring relief, but can the Chargers turn things around before it’s too late? Get the latest NFL insights, advanced stats, and updates on injuries and player performance.
