Jim Harbaugh on Chargers scoring 3 points: "I really don't have the answers, I wish I did"

Our Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers delivered a subpar performance during the NFL's wild card weekend, suffering a 16-3 defeat to the New England Patriots. Head coach Jim Harbaugh expressed his inability to explain the team's offensive struggles, as they managed only three points in the game. Following the loss, Harbaugh emphasized the need for evaluation and improvement as the team looks towards the 2026 season. He acknowledged the Patriots' strong performance and congratulated them on their victory.

Harbaugh, who became the Chargers' head coach in 2024, inherited a team with a 5-12 record and has since led them to consecutive 11-6 seasons. Despite this progress, the Chargers have yet to secure a playoff win under his leadership, with an 0-2 postseason record. Harbaugh is committed to identifying and addressing the factors contributing to the team's playoff shortcomings.
