They entered the season as Super Bowl hopefuls. Now the odds are against them.
There are no new alerts at this time On paper, both the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans entered the NFL season in enviable positions: They each have talented quarterbacks (the Chargers’ Justin Herbert, the Texans’ C.J. Stroud), head coaches with a track record of success (Jim Harbaugh and DeMeco Ryans), and started the season with two home games.

The Texans fell to 0-2 on Sunday after a 20-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, with the Chargers joining them after a 26-14 defeat at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders.
