They've dropped back-to-back games they should've won if we were looking at it solely from a talent standpoint.
In fact, they are the first team ever to start 0-2, with both losses coming against teams that lost 14 or more games the previous season. And we're supposed to expect them to march into Buffalo and take down Josh Allen and the Bills? Jim Harbaugh and the defense just let Kirk Cousins throw for 253 yards through the air and three touchdowns.
Allen is on an MVP trajectory over his first two games, totaling nine touchdowns. He's a freight train, and it feels like the Chargers will be his next victim. "Meanwhile, Justin Herbert hasn't shown much through the first two games.
The offense is averaging 14 points per game, and Herbert is being pressured at the second-highest rate (46%) in the NFL this season, despite being blitzed at the fifth-lowest rate (23%). He's struggled mightily on throws that have traveled 10-plus air yards, throwing just one touchdown and three interceptions on such throws. This feels like it could get ugly." – CBS Sports NFL writer John Breech Breech sees the Bills covering the touchdown spread and sending the Chargers to 0-3 with a 31-20 beatdown.
