I thought it would be worse...

The Chargers have mostly been competitive and adept at losing in insane ways. Sunday was just bad. They were sloppy with the ball and got blown out at home by the Vikings. That’s the first time you watched the Chargers and wondered if it’s time to make some significant changes.

Do you know how frustrating it is to spend hours upon hours trying to handicap a game, only to see the players on the team you pick fumble five f**king times? Seriously, if news breaks in a decade that Melvin Gordon bet against his own team in a battle against the Vikings in 2019, I won't be surprised in the slightest.

A grotesque Sunday for the Chargers, who turned it over seven times in a 39-10 loss to the Vikings at Dignity Health Sports Park -- overrun, as usual, by fans of the visiting team. Let's go ahead and count those turnovers, shall we? Two fumbles by Melvin Gordon, a fumble by tight end Hunter Henry and a fumble and three interceptions by Philip Rivers, who's up to 18 picks on the season. Getting slaughtered in the turnover battle is a big reason why the Chargers are limping to the finish line with a losing record. Speaking of Rivers, performances like these will only build speculation about his future in Los Angeles. Anthony Lynn is likely safe on the strength of last year's 12-4 finish, but could the coach make an internal push for a younger option under center in 2020? There should be no shortage of potential replacements on the market this offseason.
