Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh asserted that his team maintains discipline amid a challenging start to the season, despite leading the league in false-start penalties, with 10 so far. The Chargers are 0-3, their worst start since 2017, sparking concerns about their performance and discipline after finishing with fewest penalties in 2024. Harbaugh believes players are executing as coached, but critical stats indicate a regression, particularly with Joe Alt leading the league in penalties. The Chargers will need to address these issues quickly to turn around their season.
