Los Bolts cayeron 20-10 en la Fecha 3 contra Pittsburgh.
Los Chargers regresan casa para enfrentarse a un rival divisional en los Chiefs. El inicio de la Fecha 4 está programado para las 1:25 p. m. (PT).
Antes del cuarto partido de la temporada de los Chargers, los analistas y publicaciones de la NFL han publicado sus power rankings. Eche un vistazo a dónde están clasificados los Bolts al ingresar a la Fecha 4.
No. 10: Josh Kendall – The Athletic (Semana Pasada: No. 9)
No. 13: Vinnie Iyer – Sporting News (Semana Pasada: No. 5)
Los problemas de lesiones de Justin Herbert han descarrilado el gran impulso de la ofensiva de Jim Harbaugh, y la lesión de Joey Bosa tuvo un efecto similar en la defensiva en Pittsburgh.
No. 14: Eric Edholm – NFL.com (Semana Pasada: No. 7)
Cuando los Chargers interceptaron a Justin Fields a mitad del tercer cuarto, los puso en posición de tomar el control del juego, de forma similar a como se apoyaron en los Raiders al final de la victoria de la Semana 1. Pero los Bolts se quedaron sin tres, Justin Herbert abandonó el juego debido a una lesión, y después de eso todo fueron los Steelers. Anotaron 10 puntos en sus siguientes dos series y sangraron los últimos cinco minutos del reloj para sellarlo. Obviamente, Los Ángeles no puede darse el lujo de perder a Herbert por un período prolongado de tiempo, por lo que fue una buena noticia que su dolencia en el tobillo resultó ser tan positiva como probablemente podría haber sido. El problema es que otros tres Chargers clave abandonaron el juego con lesiones: la amenaza de borde Joey Bosa y los tackles ofensivos Rashawn Slater y Joe Alt. Taylor Heinicke fue capturado tres veces en cinco retrocesos, lo que obviamente no es un ritmo sostenible si necesita entrar en la alineación titular para Herbert. Es un momento un poco aterrador para los Chargers de cara a un enfrentamiento con los Chiefs, pero el descanso temprano en la Semana 5 podría terminar siendo una bendición, permitiendo a los Bolts poner en orden su salud.
No. 14: Pete Prisco – CBS Sports (Semana Pasada: No. 9)
La pérdida de Justin Herbert acabó con sus posibilidades contra los Steelers. Si se pierde tiempo por esa lesión en el tobillo, tendrán problemas importantes que su ofensiva de poder no podrá solucionar.

No. 14: BR NFL Staff – Bleacher Report (Semana Pasada: No. 13)
"Jim Harbaugh ciertamente ha dejado su sello en el equipo de los Chargers de este año", dijo Knox. "Aunque Los Ángeles cayó a 2-1 el domingo, sigue demostrando que va a jugar con una marca dura y física en ambos lados del balón. Es una fórmula que puede hacer que los Chargers sean competitivos, sin importar el oponente o el lugar. Sin embargo , las lesiones, que parecen un problema constante en Los Ángeles, ya son un problema potencial... si alguno de ellos se pierde un tiempo significativo, los Chargers estarán en problemas."
No. 15: NFL Nation, Kris Rhim – ESPN (Semana Pasada: No. 8)
El mayor problema ofensivo: las lesiones de las estrellas
El mariscal de campo Justin Herbert (tobillo) y los tackles ofensivos Rashawn Slater (pectoral) y Joe Alt abandonaron la derrota del domingo ante los Steelers debido a lesiones. Esos son quizás los tres jugadores ofensivos más importantes de los Chargers, y sin ellos, Los Ángeles tendrá problemas para ejecutar una ofensiva efectiva... Ahora cinco titulares ofensivos de los Chargers tienen lesiones persistentes de cara a la Semana 4.
No. 15: Conor Orr – Sports Illustrated (Semana Pasada: No. 12)
Sólo 2.9 yardas por acarreo para J.K. Dobbins quiso decir que parte del margen que anteriormente se le había otorgado a Justin Herbert se evaporó. Sin Herbert, este equipo rápidamente se vuelve extremadamente unidimensional... Tengo la sensación de que, durante este eventual período de asentamiento, veremos a Los Ángeles encontrar su hogar entre los números 16 y 19 de esta lista con regularidad.
No. 16: Nate Davis – USA Today (Semana Pasada: No. 14)
No. 16: Diante Lee – The Ringer (Semana Pasada: No. 18)
No. 19: Mike Florio – Pro Football Talk (Semana Pasada: No. 15)
Necesitan que Justin Herbert se recupere rápidamente.
No. 21: Frank Schwab – Yahoo Sports (Semana Pasada: No. 16)
El tobillo de Herbert es la mayor ausencia potencial que se puede rastrear, pero los Chargers podrían estar muy cortos de personal para la Semana 4 contra los Chiefs visitantes.
No. 22: David Helman – Fox Sports (Semana Pasada: No. 24)
No voy a criticar a los Chargers por perder un juego ante una defensiva de Pittsburgh cargada cuando su mariscal de campo no estaba al 100%, pero tampoco estoy impresionado por el trabajo realizado hasta ahora. Ya hemos jugado tres partidos, pero no siento que tenga una buena idea de lo que son.
