Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh addresses team's struggles, vows to fix issues
Justin Herbert threw for 257 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was unable to lead the Chargers to a touchdown, and the team now drops to 0-7 on the season. The article suggests he should not be rostered or started in any league format
The Rams’ offense looked ugly for much of the first half of Sunday’s cross-town matchup with the Chargers. But the Rams took the lead with a successful two-minute drive and ended up scoring 21 unanswered points to win 24-9. The Rams did not have a first down until Matthew Stafford connected with Tutu Atwell for a 40-yard gain down the left side with 1:26 remaining in the half. That led to Kyren Williams’ 1-yard touchdown with 19 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Then the Rams doubled up with Blake Corum’s 23-yard touchdown run at the start of the second half, putting the team up 17-9. Following Justin Herbert’s second interception of the day, Puka Nacua took a screen pass 18 yards for a touchdown to give the Rams a 15-point advantage. Nacua ended the day with 11 receptions for 80 yards on 12 targets. Matthew Stafford finished 17-of-25 for 157 yards with a touchdown and an interception. While the Rams had just 10 yards rushing at the end of the first half, they ended up with 129 with a strong performance in the second half. Corum led with 73 yards on 11 carries with a TD while Williams had 56 yards on 16 carries. It was another ugly day for Herbert and the Chargers’ offense, which did not reach the end zone on the day. Herbert finished 24-of-32 for 257 yards with two picks. Quentin Lake had the first pick during the first quarter, leading to a Brandon McManus 30-yard field goal. Trent McDuffie had the second pick. Ladd McConkey led with four catches for 86 yards. The Rams do have a pair of injury concerns at cornerback. First Jaylen Watson had to exit and did not return with a shoulder issue. Then McDuffie suffered a back injury and had to be sidelined. The Rams have now won back-to-back games for the first time this season. At 4-4, the Rams will be on the road to face the Commanders in Week 9. At 0-7, the reeling Chargers will be at home to face the Texans next weekend
The Rams are leading the Chargers 24-9 after Justin Herbert's second interception was turned into a touchdown
The Chargers' offense struggled, with Justin Herbert throwing his league-leading 10th interception, which was returned for a touchdown by the Rams. Matthew Stafford then connected with Puka Nacua for an 18-yard touchdown, extending the Rams' lead. Rams cornerback Jaylen Watson is questionable to return
While the Rams’ offense was largely listless for the first 30 minutes of Sunday’s game against the Chargers, the team woke up late in the second quarter. The Rams lead the contest between the two Los Angeles teams 10-9 at halftime. The Rams did not have a first down until Matthew Stafford connected with Tutu Atwell for a 40-yard gain down the left side with 1:26 remaining in the half — putting the Rams at the Chargers’ 17-yard line. From there, Stafford hit Puka Nacua for a 13-yard gain to the 1-yard line. Kyren Williams bounced his way into the end zone with a 1-yard run, with Brandon McManus connecting on the extra point to give the Rams a one-point advantage. Stafford finished the first half 10-of-14 for 95 yards with an interception. Nacua leads with seven catches for 40 yards. With so few plays, the Rams had just five rushing attempts in the half. Blake Corum had three for 8 yards while Williams had just two for 2 yards with the TD. On the other side, Justin Herbert threw an interception on the Chargers’ third drive. But after that, he led the team to three consecutive field goals, with Cameron Dicker hitting from 34, 46, and 41 yards. The Chargers nearly scored on their last drive of the half on a Hail Mary, but by the time Ladd McConkey could get possession of the football, he was outside the end zone and the second quarter was over. Herbert was 14-of-20 for 181 yards with an interception in the first half. McConkey leads with four catches for 86 yards. The Rams have just 90 yards of offense to the Chargers’ 219. But they will have a chance to double up, as the Rams will receive the second-half kickoff

Justin Herbert has gone eight straight games without multiple total touchdowns, a trend he'll try to reverse against the Rams
Herbert completed 24 of 32 passes for 257 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing four times for 15 yards in the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that remained with Los Angeles. The Chargers declined to move on from offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel during the Week 7 bye, and Herbert did finish with a season-high passing yardage total on a season-best 75.0 percent completion rate. However, Herbert failed to throw a touchdown pass for the second straight game while tossing multiple interceptions for the third time this season. Herbert still has just a 61.8 percent completion rate -- a career low by a fairly wide margin -- and a 5:10 TD:INT through seven games as the winless Bolts try again for their first win in a Week 9 home matchup against the Texans next Sunday
The Chargers (0-6) will face the Rams (3-4) on Sunday, with kickoff set for 4:05 p.m. ET at L.A.'s SoFi Stadium

The Chargers are in desperate need of a reboot, but trading away Justin Herbert for three first-round draft picks won't be part of the team's plans
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert hopes to jump-start his season out of his bye week. Herbert is the QB32 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 11.7 points per game. The 28-year-old veteran has yet to crack 15 fantasy points, throw multiple touchdowns, or throw for over 230 passing yards in a game this season. Entering Week 8, Herbert is RotoBaller's QB25 in a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams defense has allowed the second-lowest yards per pass attempt (6), third-lowest completion percentage (58%), and the fifth-fewest passing yards this season (1,351). It's been a season to forget for Herbert and the Chargers, with a disappointing 0-6 start. He should be out of all fantasy lineups, even superflex, until he turns his season around
