Chargers' Winless Streak Continues Amidst Offensive Woes
7 Nov
Summary
- Chargers are the NFL's only winless team, facing a 5½-point deficit at home.
- The team has not scored a touchdown in 27 consecutive drives.
- Offensive coordinator's performance is under scrutiny as team struggles.
As of November 7, 2026, the Los Angeles Chargers find themselves in a precarious position, being the NFL's sole winless team. Heading into their Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans, the Chargers are significant underdogs at home.
This season marks a stark contrast to previous years, where the team achieved 11 wins in consecutive seasons. Now, the conversation revolves around the team's ability to secure even a single victory. A critical concern is the offense's prolonged struggle, evidenced by 27 consecutive drives without a touchdown. Quarterback Justin Herbert has also thrown a league-leading 10 interceptions.
Amidst these challenges, questions loom over the offensive coordinator's performance and play-calling. The coordinator is planning to move to the booth for Sunday's game in hopes of improving strategy. Key players are sidelined due to injuries, with running back David Montgomery and safety Reed Blankenship out for the Texans, and several Chargers players listed as questionable or out.
The Chargers and Texans game is scheduled for Sunday at 1:05 p.m. PST at SoFi Stadium. The broadcast will be available on CBS and Paramount+ in Southern California, and via NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV nationally.
