The Los Angeles Chargers dropped to 0-6 for the first time since 2000 following a 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 on Sunday, dropping Jim Harbaugh’s squad to an 0-6 record for the first time since 2000. The Chargers offense produced a season-low six points and 259 total yards in the defeat. Following the game, Harbaugh stated the team must "address everything" regarding the offense, which now ranks 30th in the NFL with a scoring average of 15.0 points per game.

Quarterback Justin Herbert threw his league-high eighth interception of the season during the contest, marking his sixth consecutive game with a pick. Herbert recorded fewer than 100 passing yards in the first half for the third time this year and entered the week with a league-low 30.2 QBR. Harbaugh declined to confirm if offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel would continue to call plays, noting that the staff would "look at everything" moving forward.

Personnel availability hampered the Los Angeles roster as wide receiver Ladd McConkey was ruled out in the second quarter with a concussion. The Chargers utilized their eighth unique offensive line combination of the season, featuring four rookie starters for the second straight week. Nine different offensive linemen have started at least one game during the current campaign. The loss marks only the second time in franchise history the team has started a season with six consecutive defeats.
