Misery Index · Despair
Chargers fans numb after a 3-point playoff dud, already drafting Greg Roman's eulogy before the plane lands.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Three points in a playoff game. The defense did its job — D.Hand recovering an O.Oweh-forced fumble in the third, T.Tart pressuring the D.Maye interception to D.Henley — and J.Herbert's offense answered with one C.Dicker field goal and a long afternoon of incompletions to K.Allen. When H.Henry's 28-yard touchdown in the fourth feels academic, the season's already over. The question isn't what went wrong Saturday; it's what this offense actually is.
