Los Angeles Chargers seek playoff success amid offseason changes
Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers finished last season with an 11-6 record but exited the playoffs early, continuing a trend of postseason struggles for quarterback Justin Herbert. Herbert has faced significant pressure in the past playoffs, exemplifying the team's erratic playoff performance. The Chargers aim to improve with the return of injured offensive tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt and a change in offensive coordinators. However, they also face challenges, including the departure of defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. Their playoff prospects remain uncertain as they navigate a tough division this season.
