I can’t get my head around how the Chargers lost on Sunday. Yet, when an apparent final-minute touchdown by Austin Ekeler was reversed and he was ruled down at the 1-yard line, you knew it wasn’t automatic that the Chargers would score. Because they’re the Chargers.

The Chargers stink. Their only cover this year has been against the Dolphins, which doesn't count. Their only win besides that occurred because Adam Vinatieri couldn't kick his way out of a paper bag. They've been blown out in two home games against teams with a combined record of 4-9.
That said, there's some cause for optimism, as it sounds like left tackle Russell Okung will return to action this week. That would be the reason for the Chargers moving up in these power rankings despite losing to Ryan Tannehill.

It can't happen. It. Just. Can't. Happen. The Chargers have to find a way to execute in the final minute and win that game in Nashville. The crushing loss to the Titans will be put at the feet of Melvin Gordon, who had another poor game and lost the fumble that doomed Los Angeles, but disaster in goal-to-go situations has become a theme for the Chargers that's reaching historic proportions. This, from ESPN, tells the story: The Chargers have turned the ball over five times in goal-to-go situations this season, which ties them for the most goal-to-go turnovers by a team in the past 15 seasons. It's WEEK 7, people! This feels like a territory of failure and frustration that is unique to this organization. Hopefully this loss, in conference, against a fellow playoff hopeful, doesn't come back to haunt the Chargers. Just don't be surprised when it does.
