Chargers Soar in Madden '26 Simulation, Harbaugh Wins Coach of the Year
15 Aug
Summary
- Chargers finish 14-3, earn No. 5 seed in AFC
- Harbaugh wins Coach of the Year in his 2nd season
- Chargers upset Chiefs in divisional round before losing to Ravens
According to a recent Madden '26 simulation, the Los Angeles Chargers are poised for a standout 2025 NFL season. In the simulation, the Chargers finish the regular season with an impressive 14-3 record, tying for the best record in the AFC. However, due to two losses against the division rival Kansas City Chiefs, the Chargers end up as the No. 5 seed in the playoffs.
In the simulation, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is named the NFL's Coach of the Year, an accolade he previously won in 2011. Harbaugh, who is in his second season with the Chargers, led the team to a 14-3 record, a significant improvement from the previous year.
Despite their lower playoff seeding, the Chargers manage to secure a road playoff win against the Tennessee Titans before pulling off a 24-21 upset over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in the divisional round. However, their playoff run comes to an end in the AFC Championship game, where they fall 16-13 to the Baltimore Ravens.
While the Chargers ultimately fall short of reaching the Super Bowl in the simulation, their impressive season and postseason performance would undoubtedly excite the team's fanbase. The Madden '26 simulation suggests the Chargers are poised to be one of the top contenders in the AFC in the upcoming season.
