This is detailed more in an analysis by Nick Shook for the league’s official website.The Chargers finally ended their interminable streak of touchdown-less possessions with a Quentin Johnston catch-and-run score that was as amusing as it was significant in Sunday’s loss. That’s the only positive I can find today in this nightmare of a season.The No. 32 position also places additional attention on the challenges facing the coaching staff as the season progresses. Los Angeles must find ways to improve its offensive execution, create more scoring opportunities and turn individual contributions into sustained team production. Without meaningful improvement, the franchise could continue struggling to escape the bottom of the league standings.The Chargers have little time to dwell on their latest ranking as they prepare for the remaining games of the regular season. Johnston’s touchdown provided a rare positive moment, but the team needs considerably more from its offense to change the narrative surrounding its season. Moving away from the bottom spot will require consistent improvement rather than another isolated scoring highlight.Related contentWhy Dan Orlovsky Was Shocked by Jaguars-Eagles Trade“Robbery”: Emmanuel Acho Gets Brutally Honest on Eagles TradeJosh Allen Shares Cool Moment With Odell Beckham Jr. After Bills-Vikings Monday Night Football GameRobert Griffin III Names His MVP Frontrunner After NFL Week 9The post Los Angeles Chargers Ranked Worst NFL Team After Week 9 appeared first on Gridiron Heroics.
