Chargers struggle in Week 1 loss to Cardinals, raises concerns for offense

The Los Angeles Chargers faced a disappointing start to the season with a 26-14 loss against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1. The offense managed only 14 points, tying their lowest Week 1 total in 25 years, and accumulated just 268 total yards. Quarterback Justin Herbert struggled to connect with receivers aside from Ladd McConkey, as the team averaged only 3.9 rushing yards per play and turned the ball over twice. NFL analysts are questioning whether the new offensive system under Mike McDaniel will work effectively with Herbert. The Chargers have 16 more games to address these issues and improve their performance moving forward.
