Justin Herbert Remains Steadfast As LA Crumbles

Your Los Angeles Chargers have seen their 2023 season slowly slip away from them, and with another loss this past weekend, it dropped even further. LA lost to the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 20-10, and their playoff hopes are looking bleak.

Chargers star quarterback Justin Herbert isn't focused on what has gone wrong this season but instead is looking ahead to their matchup with the New England Patriots.

“We’re just focused one week at a time,” said Herbert, who completed 29 of 44 passes for 217 yards Sunday with one touchdown and one interception after completing merely nine of 13 passes for 79 yards in the first half.

All the Chargers can do is take things one game at a time and hope for the best. They can only control what they can control, and that is taking care of business themselves.

They have a favorable matchup against New England and have to get a win this week. Their season would essentially be over if they were to lose to the Patriots, and head coach Brandon Staley knows it.

“Our focus is on beating New England. That’s where our focus needs to be,” he said. “The AFC is wide open. It will be until the end, like it has been. So the only way that we’re going to have a shot is if we beat New England, and that’s where our focus needs to go right now.”

This is the best chance for the Chargers to get back into playoff contention, even if their chances are still slim. LA needs to make changes fast, otherwise, the team will have some very tough decisions to make this offseason.
