I hadn’t played in a while, but that’s part of the job,” Stick said. “I’ve been here five years. Got to watch Justin, and watched Philip Rivers play, and play really well. That’s the standard. Just went out there and tried to compete, did the best I can.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If Herbert is unable to play in Week 15 against the Raiders on Thursday, then Stick will make his first start. Stick never got a chance to play because Herbert hasn’t missed a game since he took over as the starter in 2020.<\/p>\n
Stick completed 13 of 24 passes for 179 yards against the Broncos in his only action this season.<\/strong><\/p>\nStick engineered the team’s only scoring drive with the Chargers down 17-0 in the fourth quarter. He hooked up with rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston on consecutive plays, including a 57-yard reception. The Chargers marched downfield for 94 yards in a five-play drive that resulted in a 3-yard touchdown run by Austin Ekeler. The Chargers trimmed the deficit 17-7, but the Broncos scored again and won 24-7.<\/p>\n
Disappointing 2023 Season for the Bolts<\/h2>\n The Chargers have been in a tailspin since they blew a 27-point lead during last year’s AFC wild-card weekend. The Jacksonville Jaguars rallied back after a 27-0 deficit and stunned the Chargers with a 31-30 victory.<\/p>\n
I’m hurting for everybody in that locker room,”<\/strong> said Chargers head coach Brandon Staley after the historic collapse. “This is the toughest way that you can lose in the playoffs.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Chargers began this season with a 2-3 record, and all five of those games were decided by one score.<\/p>\n
Since their early bye in Week 4, the Chargers have gone 3-6.<\/p>\n
After the Chargers play the Raiders on Thursday Night Football,<\/em> they host the Bills in Week 16. They then head to Denver to play the Broncos on New Year’s Eve for their final road game of the season before ending with a home game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.<\/p>\nAll signs suggest Staley will be fired after this disappointing season. Staley needed to guide the Chargers to a playoff berth to keep his job. With a talented young quarterback like Herbert on the roster, the Chargers will have no shortage of candidates seeking to become their next head coach. Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions, is the front-runner to become the Chargers’ next head coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
