🚨 CHARGERS NEWS! Today, Andrew McFarland covers the Chargers' 44-22 Week 9 loss to the Texans at SoFi Stadium, which drops Los Angeles to 0-8. Justin Herbert was sacked eight times in the game, C.J. Stroud threw for 384 yards and five touchdowns, and the Chargers ended a 37-drive touchdown drought in the fourth quarter after Houston already led 38-9. Chargers Digest breaks down what went wrong for the offense and defense, what the eight sacks mean for Justin Herbert, and what Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel have to fix next. 🏈 THE OFFENSE STILL STRUGGLED Herbert hit Quentin Johnston for a 58-yard touchdown, the Chargers' first touchdown since Oct. 11 against Denver, and backup DJ Uiagalelei threw the first touchdown pass of his career to Derius Davis. Before those two scores, the drives ended in a field goal, punt, field goal, field goal, punt, punt, interception, turnover on downs and a fumble. The Chargers went 5 of 17 on third down, and Mike McDaniel called plays from the booth for the first time this season. Did the touchdown change anything? Is the offense a play-calling problem or a roster problem? 🏈 THE DEFENSE ALLOWS 485 YARDS Houston gained 485 net yards, the most the Chargers defense has allowed this season, per chargers.com. Stroud went 21 of 35 for 384 yards, five touchdowns and one interception, with two 63-yard touchdown catches from Tank Dell and Kayshon Boutte. Daiyan Henley intercepted Stroud after a Marlowe Wax tip, but the offense turned the turnover into a field goal. How did a defense that held up through seven games fall apart? 🏈 JUSTIN HERBERT AND THE SACKS Herbert went 13 of 23 for 193 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and was sacked eight times for 40 yards. Per ESPN, that is the most sacks taken by a Chargers quarterback since Dan Fouts in 1976, and Herbert has thrown an interception in all eight games. He appeared to injure his left hand late and Uiagalelei finished the game, per Yahoo Sports. How much of this is Herbert and how much is the offensive line and scheme around him? 🏈 WHERE THE CHARGERS GO FROM HERE Counting last season's final three losses, the Chargers have lost 11 straight, which ties a franchise mark from 2000, per ESPN. Next up is the Ravens on Monday Night Football. The Vikings have been mentioned in Herbert trade talk, and Tom Pelissero said he does not foresee an in-season move but would not rule out an offseason one. This is a report and opinion, not a confirmed trade. What should change first: McDaniel as offensive coordinator, the offensive line, or the quarterback situation? 🔥 CHARGERS NEWS & RUMORS COVERED: Chargers news today Chargers vs Texans Chargers Week 9 recap Chargers 0-8 Chargers losing streak Justin Herbert sacked eight times Justin Herbert injury hand Justin Herbert Vikings trade rumors Mike McDaniel play calling booth Jim Harbaugh Chargers Quentin Johnston touchdown DJ Uiagalelei touchdown pass C.J.
