The Chargers entered Sunday’s Week 9 game against the Houston Texans with seven straight losses. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel hasn’t helped his team score a touchdown, as the Chargers have gone 14 quarters without reaching the end zone.
“We just got to keep digging deep,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh told CBS Sports coming out of halftime. “One play. One life.”
Herbert completed 9-of-17 passes for 63 yards in the first half against the Texans. Keaton Mitchen served as the leading rusher with 22 yards on four carries.
As a unit, the offense had seven possessions during the first half that resulted in three field goals and four punts. Things got much worse in the third quarter, when two of the Chargers' three possessions resulted in turnovers and a third ended on a turnover on downs.
The Texans' Will Anderson Jr., Jadeveon Clowney and Sheldon Rankins each have proved to be a problem for Herbert and the Chargers offense, recording two sacks apiece as Houston has registered seven sacks through three quarters.
