The Story in 60 Seconds

NFL executives and evaluators believe Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert appears "confused and overwhelmed" in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. The Chargers have opened the season with three consecutive losses as the offense struggles to adjust to McDaniel's quick-release passing scheme.

Herbert has completed 59.1% of his passes for 627 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions through three games. Despite the defense forcing five turnovers in a 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Herbert's red-zone interception and an ineffective running game contributed to another defeat.
