Descripción general del equipo
Los Angeles Chargers llegan a 2025 con aspiraciones al campeonato bajo la dirección de Jim Harbaugh, entrenador en jefe en su segundo año, pero enfrentan un reto importante tras perder al tackle izquierdo Rashawn Slater, seleccionado al Pro Bowl, por una lesión en el tendón rotuliano que les puso fin a la temporada. A pesar de este revés, los Chargers se mantienen competitivos en la AFC Oeste, con probabilidades divisionales de +300 a +340. La sólida base defensiva del equipo y el continuo desarrollo de Justin Herbert los mantienen en la contienda.
The Chargers had an impressive preseason, allowing just 18.3 points per game with standout defensive performances from both rookies and veterans. Their secondary, led by defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, showed significant improvement and depth throughout the preseason. However, the loss of Slater, who had just signed a four-year, $114 million extension making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, significantly impacts their offensive outlook.
Análisis de la línea ofensiva
Los Chargers enfrentan su mayor desafío en la línea ofensiva tras la devastadora lesión de Rashawn Slater. Slater se encontraba entre los mejores tackles izquierdos de la NFL, ubicándose entre los 10 mejores en bloqueo de carrera y cuarto en bloqueo de pase en 2024. Su ausencia obliga al equipo a reestructurar toda su estrategia de línea ofensiva.
El novato Joe Alt, originalmente reclutado para jugar como tackle derecho, probablemente se moverá al lado izquierdo para proteger el lado ciego de Justin Herbert. La unidad restante incluye piezas interiores sólidas, pero la transición y la pérdida del juego de élite de Slater perjudican significativamente lo que se esperaba que fuera una sólida línea ofensiva. La filosofía ofensiva del equipo, centrada en la carrera, bajo la dirección de Harbaugh se vuelve más difícil de ejecutar sin su ancla en el tackle izquierdo.
Análisis de la línea defensiva
Los Ángeles cuenta con una de las líneas defensivas más sólidas de la NFL, con el defensor Khalil Mack como punta de lanza y la versatilidad del tackle defensivo Derwin James Jr. como base. La unidad mostró una excelente profundidad durante la pretemporada, con múltiples jugadores contribuyendo en toda la línea defensiva. La incorporación de veteranos cazamariscales y jóvenes talentos proporciona un impacto inmediato y un desarrollo futuro.
La línea defensiva de los Chargers se beneficia del esquema agresivo del coordinador Jesse Minter, que maximiza la presión a la vez que mantiene la integridad de los huecos contra la carrera. Su capacidad para generar presión constante sin blitzing permite a la secundaria jugar una cobertura más cerrada, creando un efecto sinérgico en toda la defensa. Esta fortaleza defensiva podría necesitar mayor peso dadas las preocupaciones en la línea ofensiva.
Temporada 2025 de la NFL
First Kickoff Game Summary vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Los Angeles Chargers kicked off their season with a 27–21 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil, highlighted by Justin Herbert’s three touchdown passes and a stout defensive effort. Quentin Johnston scored twice, including the game-clinching TD late in the fourth quarter.
Corredor Najee Harris returned after missing training camp with an eye injury, while safety Elijah Molden remains limited by a lingering knee issue. The team managed to avoid major injuries in the opener and contained Patrick Mahomes despite defensive penalties.
Next up, the Chargers travel to face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, aiming to build on Herbert’s passing success and clean up discipline for their first division matchup.
Week 2 vs. Las Vegas Raiders
The Chargers secured their second consecutive victory with a dominant defensive performance on Monday Night Football. Justin Herbert threw for efficient numbers, connecting on scoring strikes including a 60-yard touchdown to Quentin Johnston. The defense intercepted Geno Smith three times, with Daiyan Henley, Tony Jefferson, and Donte Jackson all recording picks. Las Vegas managed only three field goals from Daniel Carlson despite reaching Chargers territory multiple times, highlighting their red-zone struggles and offensive inconsistency.
Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos
The Los Angeles Chargers achieved their first 3-0 start since 2002 with a thrilling 23-20 victory over Broncos de Denver, capped by Cameron Dicker’s game-winning 43-yard field goal as time expired. Justin Herbert orchestrated a masterful comeback, finding Keenan Allen for a tying 20-yard touchdown with 2:44 remaining before leading the final scoring drive. The victory was particularly impressive as the Chargers became just the third team since realignment to defeat division opponents in each of their first three games, having already beaten the Chiefs and Raiders earlier in the season. Herbert went 4-for-4 on the game-winning drive, demonstrating the poise that has made him one of the league’s elite quarterbacks.
However, the victory came at a significant cost as the Chargers suffered a potentially season-altering injury when running back Najee Harris went down with an Achilles injury that could sideline him for the remainder of the season. Despite this setback, Jim Harbaugh’s squad now sits atop the AFC West with a perfect record and has established themselves as legitimate contenders. The Chargers will look to maintain their momentum when they face the Giants de Nueva York next week, though they’ll need to find solutions in their backfield without their lead rusher.
Week 4 vs. New York Giants
The Chargers suffered their first loss of the season in stunning fashion, falling 21-18 to the Giants de Nueva York despite entering as heavy favorites. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart led the Giants to victory in his first career start, while Justin Herbert struggled under constant pressure, completing just 23 of 41 passes for 203 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. The loss was particularly damaging given that it came against a winless Giants team that had looked overmatched in previous weeks.
Injuries on defense have significantly impacted the Chargers, with Khalil Mack on IR and key players like Denzel Perryman y Elijah Molden dealing with various ailments. Los Angeles travels to face the Washington Commanders in Week 5, needing to rebound quickly to maintain their division lead.
Week 5 vs. Washington Commanders
The Chargers stumbled at home, losing 27-10 to the Washington Commanders as Justin Herbert struggled under defensive pressure for 166 yards, one score, and an interception. The Chargers’ offensive line surrendered four sacks and the defense couldn’t contain Washington after taking an early lead, with Da’Shawn Hand leaving with a groin injury.
Their next challenge is a road matchup against the Miami Dolphins, with Los Angeles focused on sharpening offensive consistency and adjusting defensive schemes to better handle fast-paced opponents.
Week 6 vs. Miami Dolphins
The Los Angeles Chargers escaped with a thrilling 29-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 6 thanks to Cameron Dicker’s game-winning 35-yard field goal as time expired. Justin Herbert orchestrated the final drive brilliantly, connecting with Ladd McConkey on a crucial 42-yard completion to set up the kick. Defensively, the Chargers forced three Tua Tagovailoa interceptions including a game-sealing pick by Derwin James, while Kimani Vidal contributed 79 rushing yards. Los Angeles improved to 4-2 and traveled to Indianapolis to face the Colts in Week 7.
Week 7 vs. Indianapolis Colts
The Los Angeles Chargers’ slide continued in Week 7 with a disappointing 38-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at SoFi Stadium. Despite Justin Herbert’s career-high 420 passing yards on 37 of 55 attempts, the Chargers couldn’t overcome Jonathan Taylor’s three-touchdown performance and fell to 4-3. Los Angeles scored 21 second-half points but couldn’t overcome their slow start, managing just three points in the opening two quarters while their running game stalled with just 54 yards on 16 carries. The Chargers host the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football in Week 8.
Week 8 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Justin Herbert dazzled again, leading the Chargers to a 34-10 blowout of the Vikings. Herbert tossed three scores and added 62 yards rushing, while the defense stifled Minnesota from start to finish. Rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II starred with 77 yards and a touchdown. However, cornerback Tarheeb Still is expected to miss several weeks after suffering an MCL sprain.
The Chargers’ offensive line continues to get healthier, which bodes well for a team in the thick of the division race.
Week 9 vs. Tennessee Titans
The Los Angeles Chargers escaped with a 27-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans, thanks to a crucial goal-line stand where they stopped running back Tony Pollard at the 1-yard line on fourth down. Offensive tackle Joe Alt exited with an ankle injury during the game, raising concerns about offensive line depth.
The Chargers return home to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Sunday Night Football showcase in Week 10, looking to build on their two-game winning streak.
Probabilidades de ganar la División y el Super Bowl
A pesar de la lesión de Slater, los Chargers mantienen cuotas competitivas de división de +300 a +340, lo que los coloca en tercer lugar de la AFC Oeste, detrás de Kansas City y Denver. Sus cuotas para el Super Bowl LX son de +2500, lo que refleja tanto su potencial como el importante obstáculo que supone la ausencia de Slater. Las cuotas para el Campeonato de la AFC son de +1300, lo que indica que las casas de apuestas los consideran capaces, pero enfrentan retos importantes.
Los mercados de apuestas se han ajustado considerando la lesión de Slater, pero las cuotas de los Chargers siguen siendo competitivas gracias a su fortaleza defensiva y al talento de Herbert. Algunos analistas creen que el nivel general de talento del equipo puede compensar los problemas de la línea ofensiva, sobre todo si Joe Alt se desarrolla rápidamente como tackle izquierdo.
Predicciones
Los modelos de proyección presentan resultados dispares para los Chargers en 2025, con estimaciones que oscilan entre 8 y 9 victorias debido a la lesión de Slater y 11 o 12 victorias según su talento general. El mínimo del equipo parece rondar las 8 victorias, mientras que su potencial depende en gran medida de la rapidez con la que se adapte la línea ofensiva y de si Herbert puede mantener su nivel de élite a pesar de la mayor presión.
El éxito de los Chargers depende de varios factores: la transición de Joe Alt a tackle izquierdo, el alto nivel de juego de la defensa y la capacidad de Herbert para impulsar a quienes lo rodean. Si la línea ofensiva se estabiliza y la defensa continúa su trayectoria ascendente bajo la dirección de Minter, Los Ángeles podría sorprender y competir por el título divisional. Sin embargo, la pérdida de Slater representa un obstáculo importante en lo que ya se anticipaba como una AFC Oeste competitiva.
