## Resource

Chargers hype is soaring this offseason, fueled by new OC Mike McDaniel and a loaded offense starring Justin Herbert, Omarion Hampton, and Ladd McConkey—but ESPN’s Bill Barnwell warns the defense might be the weak link. With veteran coordinator Jesse Minter now in Baltimore, rookie Chris O’Leary faces a steep climb to replicate last year’s defensive success. Can the explosive offense carry them through a brutal AFC West? With Broncos and Chiefs also locked in for playoffs, one or two close losses could cost them a spot. Jim Harbaugh’s team must balance their strengths with offensive growth over 18 weeks—or risk missing the postseason entirely.
