COSTA MESA, Calif. – A few ugly wins. A couple ugly losses. All amid numerous ugly injuries.
And yet as the Los Angeles Chargers emerge from a bye week and prepare for the second half of their season, they’re in second place in the AFC West, one game behind the Kansas City Chiefs, with a goal of reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
“We’ve had to fight really hard to be 4-3,” second-year coach Brandon Staley said. “I’m proud of the way that our guys have competed. It hasn’t been pretty at all, but I think that we’re in a position now where we know where we need to go and more importantly how we need to get there.
