Jim Harbaugh on whether Greg Roman is right play-caller for Chargers: 'I don't have that answer right now'

Jim Harbaugh on whether Greg Roman is right play-caller for Chargers: 'I don't have that answer right now'

Our Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers exited the playoffs with a 16-3 loss to the New England Patriots, marking their fourth consecutive playoff defeat, which ties the franchise record. The Chargers' offense struggled, managing only 207 total yards and converting just one of ten third-down attempts. Quarterback Justin Herbert faced scrutiny for another poor postseason performance, but offensive coordinator Greg Roman also received criticism for the team's offensive ineptitude.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh did not explicitly support Roman when questioned about his future as the play-caller, stating a need to evaluate the situation. Under Roman's leadership, offenses have struggled in the postseason, with his teams achieving just one win in six playoff appearances and never scoring more than 20 points in those games.

Herbert took responsibility for the lackluster performance, acknowledging his inability to make plays as he was sacked five times. The Chargers must now decide whether to retain Roman or seek a new direction for their offensive strategy.
