L 17-23 vs Broncos · Oct 11, 2026
Misery Index · Despair
Chargers fans are 0-5 after back-to-back 11-win seasons and openly asking why they still bother watching.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The K.Vidal 42-yard touchdown run to open the third briefly resurrected a corpse, which fans openly resent having believed in. Then Z.Allen's strip-sack of J.Herbert at the LAC 24 handed Denver the game, and a second Herbert sack with three seconds left sealed it. Two scores, two possessions lost in the pocket, and a fanbase already drafting the coach's eulogy by halftime. The lingering worry: whether anything about this operation is actually fixable.
What fans said
“First team to ever go 0-5 after back to back 11 win seasons. Record breakers. 💪”
