Fallout from the Chargers’ wild-card playoff meltdown began with the firing of offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and quarterbacks coach Shane Day.
The move was announced by the team three days after Jacksonville rallied from a 27-point deficit to win in the third-biggest comeback in NFL playoff history. The Chargers were held to just a field goal in the second half of the loss.
Lombardi was hired by head coach Brandon Staley after Staley took over in January of 2021.
In Lombardi’s first season, the Chargers were the AFC’s No. 1 passing team and a top-five offense in points and total yards league-wide.
Following a stellar rookie year, quarterback Justin Herbert became a Pro Bowler and set numerous franchise records.
In 2022, the Chargers struggled running the ball and establishing consistency on offense.
Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater was lost for the season because of torn biceps suffered in Week 3.
Wide receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams also missed significant time, and Herbert was slowed for an extended stretch because of fractured rib cartilage.
