Chargers risk 0-9 start with tough upcoming schedule

The Los Angeles Chargers are now 0-5 after a 23-17 loss to the Denver Broncos on October 8, 2026. With upcoming games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans, and Baltimore Ravens, the Chargers face a daunting path that makes an 0-9 record a real concern. This marks the first time since 2003 that the Chargers have started a season with five losses. The team, expected to be competitive this year, is quickly falling behind in the standings. If they cannot secure a win against any of these challenging opponents, major changes within the organization are likely following Week 10.
