Top 5 Storylines to Watch for the 2024 Los Angeles Chargers Season

High Hopes for Herbert and the Offense

Justin Herbert enters his fourth season as the Chargers' starting quarterback with sky-high expectations. With a talented cast of pass-catchers led by Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Herbert will look to improve his already impressive numbers and lead the Chargers offense to new heights. Yet, Herbert is still looking for his first playoff win.

A Healthy Bosa is a Scary Sight

Joey Bosa is one of the most talented pass rushers in the NFL, but he has been hampered by injuries throughout his career. If Bosa can stay healthy in 2024, he could be a game-changer for the Chargers' defense. A healthy Bosa would create a ferocious pass rush, which would help the Chargers generate turnovers and put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Can the Chargers Fix Their Run Game?

The Chargers have struggled to run the ball consistently in recent years. In 2023, they finished 28th in the NFL in rushing yards per game. If the Chargers want to be a legitimate contender in 2024, they need to find a way to improve their running game and take pressure off Justin Herbert.

Impact of New Defensive Coordinator

The Chargers hired former Rams defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill to replace Gus Bradley. Hill is known for his aggressive style of defense, so it will be interesting to see how he implements his scheme with the Chargers. Hill will have some talented players to work with, including Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, and Derwin James. With Hill at the helm, the Chargers' defense could be one of the best in the NFL in 2024.

Will the Chargers Make a Playoff Run?

The Chargers have not made the playoffs since 2018. In 2023, they finished 10-7 but missed the playoffs due to a tiebreaker. The Chargers have a talented roster, but they need to put it all together in 2024 and make a run in the playoffs.
