The Chargers are now 0-8 this season.

After Sunday’s 44-22 loss to the Texans, the Chargers are still searching for its first win of 2026.

Despite the ongoing misery in Hollywood, the front office has been determined to view the campaign as a losing season. Thus, the Chargers have continued to reject teams that are interesting in trading for players such as Justin Herbert, Khalil Mack, and Ladd McConkey.

There’s no telling whether the Chargers’ eighth loss of the season will force the front office to make a move, but the clock is ticking as the NFL trade deadline is on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.

The Chargers have been reluctant to make any changes to their team. Perhaps, the team’s most notable move ahead of Sunday’s game was moving offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to the booth, which fixed nothing.

Fans are evidently frustrated with the team, who mustered just 15 points before Herbert was taken out in garbage time.

The positives?

The Chargers finally snapped their no touchdown streak after 37 drives. Justin Herbert connected with wide receiver Quentin Johnston for a 58-yard touchdown to trim Houston’s lead to 23.

It was the first time the Chargers scored a touchdown since Week 5 against the Broncos.

While the Chargers broke a daunting streak, the organization has looked both stubborn and stupid halfway through the NFL season.
