Los Angeles Chargers remain at number 14 in ESPN post-cutdown rankings
Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers maintained their position at No. 14 in the latest NFL power rankings following roster cutdowns. ESPN kept the team in the same spot occupied since the post-draft rankings, placing the club behind the Kansas City Chiefs and ahead of the Dallas Cowboys. Quarterback Justin Herbert is approaching a statistical milestone, needing fewer than 3,180 passing yards this season to reach 28,000 for his career. If he achieves the mark, he would become the fourth player in league history to reach that total within their first seven seasons. The team is looking for a productive offensive performance under new coordinator Mike McDaniel. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has integrated new passing concepts designed to take advantage of the quarterback's skill set as the regular season approaches.
