Safety Derwin James Jr. is very confident in the Chargers despite their 0-3 start. How confident is he?
James emphatically told reporters that he still believes the Chargers can make the Super Bowl.
"Hell yeah! I mean, 14-3 … I feel like we're getting better, so we gotta keep attacking," James said.
"That's all we can do."
The Chargers Super Bowl odds
currently sit at +4500. Those odds rank 17th in the NFL.The Chargers are off to a 0-3 start for the first time since 2017, the year before they drafted James. Los Angeles had every opportunity to get their first win of the season.
The Chargers' defense showed up in a big way for most of the contest. The unit forced five turnovers and held Buffalo to 10 points through three quarters.
Los Angeles' defense
limited one of the NFL's best offenses to 350 total yards after giving up nearly 700 yards combined to Arizona and Las Vegas. Sunday's performance was easily the Chargers' best of the season.
James finished with four tackles, three solo.
The defense finally showed up in a big way, but the offense let them down.
The Chargers offense delivered yet another underwhelming, disappointing performance, totaling 348 yards. Justin Herbert had every opportunity to put his team ahead and then some.
However, late-game penalties and Herbert's lackluster play hurt the team.
“I don’t think we’re disjointed, Herbert said. "I think we’re just making mistakes and making it harder on ourselves.”
“Guys are trying as hard as they can out there.”
The Chargers' defense looked like a competent unit for the first time this season, and they'll aim to continue that trend.
