Anthony Lynn’s job is still not safe
The Chargers have won their past two games, which may make it seem like coach Anthony Lynn is going to earn another year. However, that’s not necessarily the case. The outcome might suggest that, but the incompetence coaching almost blew the game away on multiple occasions.
The Chargers had two go-ahead field goal attempts inside the final four minutes and, of course, missed them both. Despite the fact that kicker Michael Badgley has been poor beyond 45 yards, Lynn still felt that it was the right decision rather than trusting the guy who was lights out.
Special teams wasn’t the only thing that went wrong. The decision to take the ball out of Herbert’s hands was, too. Despite the fact that he was tearing it up through the air all night, the rookie was held to one pass in the entire fourth quarter.
As a result, they didn’t go hand in hand. If Herbert wasn’t so dang good and the defense didn’t capitalize towards the end of the game, the outcome would’ve likely been different, all because of the team’s faulty game management.
If Lynn is brought back, it’s all because Herbert’s play bought him another season.
