Penalties hindered the Chargers in their 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Los Angeles committed nine total penalties during the game, including seven on offense.
“When it’s one guy, one guy, one guy, each has their one … that’s where we can improve,” Jim Harbaugh said. “That’s operation, that’s mechanics, that just needs to tighten up.
“I think when it shows up is one guy has one error, those add up,” Harbaugh added. “I take responsibility, just penalties in general. Keep training, keep working, keep coaching.”
Due to the penalties, the Bolts were behind the sticks on nearly every drive, which made it extremely difficult to generate anything on that side of the ball.
L.A. was without Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt due to their injuries. As a result, it wasn’t only challenging to keep pressure off Justin Herbert, but it was also challenging to keep everything in sync pre-snap.
“We were definitely trying to have some cadence variations so they couldn’t get off on the snap and that’s the fix… just needs more honing, more practice, more work,” Harbaugh said.
The Chargers will look to tighten that up during their bye week.
