## Resource

Chargers’ season opener against the Cardinals fizzled fast despite a promising start—Justin Herbert’s McDaniel offense looked electric early but unraveled when Arizona adjusted, locking down first reads and forcing Herbert into risky decisions. He finished with 209 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, and the team scored just 14 points while getting shut out in two quarters. With the Cardinals controlling the clock and costly turnovers costing dearly, Orlovsky warns that fixing Herbert’s tendency to over-rely on first reads is critical—if not now, the Chargers could miss the playoffs.
