Chargers struggle with offensive line issues amid 0-3 start
Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers continue to face challenges in the 2026 NFL season, starting with a record of 0-3. Key issues stem from the offensive line, which has not adequately protected quarterback Justin Herbert. Star tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt have both underperformed, with Slater recording a 76% pass block win rate, his lowest through three games in his career. The offensive line's pass block win rate of 34.8% in a recent game against the Bills marked one of Herbert's lowest performances. With 14 games remaining, the Chargers seek to improve their offensive line play to turn the season around.
