How Mike McDaniel & Justin Herbert Collaborated on Chargers Offense During Bye Week

During their bye week, Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and quarterback Justin Herbert held four hours of film sessions across two days to address the team's offensive struggles following an 0-6 start. Head coach Jim Harbaugh reaffirmed his confidence in McDaniel remaining the team's play caller, while Herbert emphasized that the offensive execution issues fall on the players rather than the coaching staff.

Entering Week 8, the Chargers rank last in the NFL in EPA per play, success rate, points per game, and turnovers. Guard Cole Strange and tackle Joe Alt noted the team's focus on mutual accountability and positive reinforcement as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Rams at SoFi Stadium.
