Summary
The Chargers stumbled to a 14-26 loss in their season opener, with Justin Herbert throwing for 209 yards and a TD but struggling as the offense sputtered after Arizona took control. Bright spot? Ladd McConkey, who hauled in five catches for 82 yards and a score — until he exited with a rib injury. Now, with McConkey sidelined again and likely out against the Raiders, Herbert must rely on a deeper, less proven receiving corps. Quentin Johnston and Tre’ Harris could see more targets, while veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling was added to the practice squad for depth. The team’s offense needs to ignite fast — they scored just 14 points in the opener. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
