The Story in 60 Seconds

The Los Angeles Chargers are seeking offensive improvements as they prepare to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 3. Through the first two games of the season, quarterback Justin Herbert and the passing attack have struggled with miscues, botched snaps, fumbles, and dropped passes under Mike McDaniel.

With receiver Ladd McConkey expected to face a limited workload, the offense requires additional production from complementary options. Wide receiver Brenen Thompson is being urged into a larger role to help revitalize the passing game despite earlier difficulties in Week 2.
