A third consecutive loss in the closing minutes is a gut punch for the team and its fans. Are the Chargers guilty of being too protective of their leads when they should be trying to expand them?

Staley himself probably wouldn’t have to be so defensive at the podium – “We just lost a game in overtime, so how do you think the mood is?” – if he was more aggressive on the field. Since then, having started 2022 and now 2023 with new offensive coordinators, the Chargers haven’t played with the same abandon.
