## Resource

The Chargers’ playoff hopes are in serious doubt this season, despite new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s promising scheme. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell left them off his playoff predictions, citing a shaky defense under new coordinator Chris O’Leary, a brutal schedule, and key injuries—including a season-ending one for center Tyler Biadasz and linebacker Denzel Perryman missing the first four games. While stars like Joe Alt, Rashawn Slater, and rookie Omarion Hampton offer hope, and Quentin Johnston could thrive in McDaniel’s system, Barnwell sees too many hurdles to believe they’ll make the postseason—making it yet another tough year for Chargers fans.
