## Resource

The Chargers stumbled to a tough 26-14 loss to the Cardinals in Week 1, struggling offensively and watching star receiver Ladd McConkey exit with a chest injury. Justin Herbert battled pressure and threw an interception, while the run game sputtered. Head coach Jim Harbaugh defended his decision to rotate guards but acknowledged room for improvement. With McConkey’s status uncertain, the team heads into Week 2 against the Raiders hoping to bounce back. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
