"Jim Harbaugh insisted the Chargers are still a good football team after their second straight defeat Sunday but admitted they are making "out of character" mistakes. "We need to get the bleeding stopped on the penalties and the self-inflicted wounds," Harbaugh said after a 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. "... I know we're capable of doing that. I know we're a good football team in those areas. Not good at it right now, but yeah, we'll get better.""
"The Chargers had ten penalties that cost them 85 yards on Sunday. Last week, they were flagged 14 times for 107 yards in a loss to the winless Giants. The 24 penalties over two weeks are the most ever over by a Harbaugh-coached NFL team in a two-week span. The Chargers began Sunday's game jumping out to a 10-0 first quarter lead, but the Commanders responded by scoring 27 unanswered. Many of the Chargers' attempts at scoring were thwarted by penalties."
Los Angeles Chargers lost 27-10 to the Washington Commanders, marking a second straight defeat. Ten penalties cost the Chargers 85 yards in that game, following 14 penalties for 107 yards the prior week, totaling 24 penalties over two weeks—the most in a two-week span under Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers jumped to a 10-0 first quarter lead before the Commanders scored 27 unanswered. A Ladd McConkey punt-return touchdown was nullified by a roughing-the-kicker penalty on Marlowe Wax. A Quentin Johnston reception was wiped out by a holding penalty on Trey Pipkins, erasing a crucial first down and stalling drives.
