Overview
- Tart, speaking Monday via the team website, said the Chargers are "f---ing starving" after two straight early playoff exits.
- He signed a three-year, $30 million extension in February with $20 million guaranteed and said the payday only deepens his drive.
- Los Angeles has posted back-to-back 11-win seasons under Jim Harbaugh but went one-and-done each time in the Wild Card Round.
- The most recent loss was a 16-3 defeat to the Patriots, following a 32-12 setback to the Texans the year before.
- To reset the trajectory, the Chargers replaced OC Greg Roman with Mike McDaniel, brought back Chris O'Leary as DC after Jesse Minter's exit, and added pieces including Dalvin Tomlinson and rookie pass rusher Akheem Mesidor.
