Rob Gronkowski singled out the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers as the NFL's biggest mess, saying their play is far below expectations for a Jim Harbaugh team with Mike McDaniel calling the offense.
14 points per game through two losses ranks third-worst in the league, with the Chargers also sitting 23rd in total offense after opening against Arizona and Las Vegas.
Justin Herbert has thrown 2 touchdowns against 3 interceptions and completed 59.3% of his passes, but Gronkowski said the breakdown is collective — from pass protection and scheme to receivers failing to make plays.
Buffalo awaits in Week 3, and the schedule stays difficult with Seattle, Denver, Kansas City, the Rams, Houston and Baltimore next, leaving little time for a quick reset.
