The Los Angeles Chargers have decided to keep Mike McDaniel as their offensive play-caller following an 0-6 start to the season and a Week 7 bye. The move comes after quarterback Justin Herbert, who was expected to thrive under McDaniel's coordination, has instead regressed statistically.

Head coach Brandon Staley and the organization expressed confidence in McDaniel's scheme, believing the bye week provides an opportunity to adjust and improve. The Chargers will return to action in Week 8 aiming to reverse their early-season struggles.
