How Mike McDaniel is Working With Justin Herbert to Jumpstart Chargers Offense

The Los Angeles Chargers have started the season 0-2 ahead of a Week 3 road game against the Buffalo Bills. Under Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel, the offense currently ranks 29th in the NFL in points per game at 14.0 and 30th in offensive EPA per play. McDaniel and quarterback Justin Herbert are spending extensive time watching film together to address miscues, penalties, and sluggish execution.

McDaniel emphasized that accountability extends beyond Herbert, citing specific miscues involving David Njoku, Oronde Gadsden, and Brenen Thompson against the Raiders. Herbert stated that his primary focus remains preparing for the upcoming opponent and leading the offense, while McDaniel noted that the entire unit must improve collectively.
