The Chargers aren’t going anywhere this season. After eight games, the Bolts still haven't collected a win, continuing their nightmare season.
Sunday’s loss was arguably their worst of the season. Despite scoring two touchdowns in the contest after not scoring one since Week 5 against the Broncos, the Chargers looked as bad as they have looked this season, and that’s saying something.
Los Angeles fell to the Texans, 44-22. This season is as good as over for the Chargers; however, that’s not the mentality the team is carrying, even though they remain the only winless team.
Safety Tony Jefferson believes the team will find a solution to their dreadful start.
"First and foremost - just stay together. Secondly - watch the tape and fix the leaks, Jefferson
said.
“The proof is in the pudding in the tape, so we'll watch that, fix it and then we'll get back to it.”
Running back Keaton Mitchell echoed the same sentiment.
“We have to keep going, keep our head up, continue to work every week and hopefully we'll get one,” Mitchell said.
The Chargers' offense mustered two touchdowns, both in garbage time in the fourth quarter. Quentin Johnston's touchdown catch ended the team's 37 straight drives without a touchdown.
Tight end Charlie Kolar couldn't believe the streak.
"37," Kolar said in surprise after he was told about the streak. "I wish you hadn't told me that.
"It is so hard mentally and emotionally to be present. I didn't even know we hadn't scored in that long."
"It's been one of the most frustrating years of my career… you gotta just do everything in your power to stay as locked in where your feet are, and just get better," Kolar said.
Offensive tackle Joe Alt said he's going to look internally to try and fix the issues.
"I'm going to start with myself and look at what I have to get better at," Alt said.
"We all have to get better. The scoreboard doesn't reflect how we wanna play."
The Chargers' offensive line allowed eight sacks on Herbert. LA's 22 points were their most since Week 4 against the Seahawks.
The offense is averaging 15.1 points per game. That's dead last in the league.
