The Los Angeles Chargers have been one of the league’s most successful teams over the past two years, but they don’t have any postseason victories to show for it.
The Chargers hope that third time’s the charm when it comes to this core getting the shot at making a deep playoff run. ESPN insider Kris Rhim is putting a lot of stock into offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and what he can bring to the table.

“The Chargers’ offense has been its Achilles’ heel the past two seasons, with both years ending in playoff losses, in large part because the offense sputtered. McDaniel is one of the NFL’s most respected offensive minds, known for creating some of the league’s most explosive offenses. If McDaniel can elevate this offense to be among the league’s best, the Chargers can be a real contender,” Rhim wrote.
McDaniel spent the last four seasons as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, where he helped them reach the playoffs in 2022 and 2023. Following two disappointing years in 2024 and 2025, McDaniel lost his job, but he still has a chance to be part of one of the top offenses in the league.
With Herbert leading the way and several first-round talents with the offensive line, running back room and wide receiver corps, the Chargers can take a step in the right direction in 2026 and become one of the league’s top offenses.
