Los Angeles Chargers
· 2026-06-30
The Los Angeles Chargers are gaining momentum with their offseason moves, setting them up for a potential Super Bowl run.
The Chargers took a hit in their Wild Card Round loss to the New England Patriots, but with a healthy Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, quarterback Justin Herbert should have more command of the offense.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated thinks the Chargers made enough moves on offense to edge the needle.
Breer wrote that he wouldn't be surprised if the Chargers made it to the Super Bowl, given their young talent and upgraded offense.
The Chargers have a 13-4 record and are on a W8 streak, standing 3rd in the American Football Conference as of June 30, 2026.
The Chargers' next game is against the Arizona Cardinals on September 13, 2026.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh's decision to hire former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel might be the Chargers' biggest win of the offseason.
Herbert will be the most talented quarterback McDaniel has coached since he became the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers in 2021.
The offense was a problem for Los Angeles last season, but it could be the reason for a Super Bowl run this year.
And with the addition of David Njoku, the Chargers' offense is looking stronger than ever.
But the biggest question going into camp is how Chris O'Leary will perform as the new defensive coordinator.
So the Chargers are looking to make a deep playoff run with their upgraded offense and talented young players.
The Chargers' success will depend on the health of their players, particularly Herbert and the offensive tackles.
