Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh faces the Cardinals on September 13 with the opportunity to extend his Week 1 coaching record to 7-0. Harbaugh previously secured six consecutive opening-week victories during his four-season tenure with the San Francisco 49ers and his initial two seasons with Los Angeles. A win against the Cardinals would bring him within one victory of the all-time NFL record held by George "Potsy" Clark, who achieved an 8-0-2 mark between 1931 and 1940. Clark set his record while coaching the Portsmouth Spartans, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the Detroit Lions. Los Angeles enters the game as a 9.5-point favorite at home. The matchup serves as the season opener for both organizations.
