Chargers
W 27-20 at Titans · Nov 2, 2025
Misery Index · Meh
Chargers fans can't enjoy 6-3 because J.Alt limped off and the o-line keeps testing Herbert's mortality.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Spotting the Titans 14 points on a C.Barton pick-six and a C.Dike punt return touchdown is not the recommended path to a road win, yet here the Chargers are, somehow up in the misery index despite the W. The defense holding C.Ward's offense to six points papered over a brutal start, and J.Herbert's 29-yard scramble and the deep ball to O.Gadsden did the rest. The win counts; the margin for error clearly does not exist.
