Chargers fall to 0-6 after 22-6 loss to Chiefs, offense under fire

The Los Angeles Chargers lost 22-6 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, dropping to 0-6 for the first time since the 2000 season. The franchise has started 0-6 only one other time, in 1975.

The offense managed just six points and 259 total yards, lowering its points-per-game average to 15.0, which ranks 30th in the league. Coach Jim Harbaugh said the team must address everything, especially offensively.

“The job I'm doing, it starts with me.”

Quarterback Justin Herbert threw another interception, his league-high eighth of the season, and has thrown a pick in every game. His turnover-worthy play rate has risen to 6.7 percent through six weeks, well above his career average of 2.2 percent.

Harbaugh said he will review the game with offensive coaches and take responsibility for his own job. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, hired after Greg Roman was fired in January, may be on his way out as the unit struggles with injuries along the offensive line and at wide receiver.

The defense kept the Chargers competitive, with Cam Hart intercepting Patrick Mahomes in the end zone and multiple stops giving the ball back to the offense. The team now enters its Week 7 bye week.
