Charger Starters Set Sights on Week 7 Post Monday Night Loss
In this story:
The Los Angeles Chargers lost a heartbreaker to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, and their record once again fell under .500. The Chargers let an opportunity fall by the wayside, and now they sit with a 2-3 record. Edge rusher Khalil Mack spoke on the mindset of the team after the tough loss.
"It's frustrating. Coming off the bye week, understanding what we had in front of us, the opportunity we had on Monday Night Football," Mack said. "We let ourselves down, we let the fans down and ownership and everybody in the building."
It was a tough game all around for the Chargers, especially coming off a bye week. But they did this to themselves and have to live with the results. They couldn't get anything going, and it ended up costing them.
Now, the Bolts will have to get ready for the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. They head to Arrowhead Stadium for the divisional matchup, and they quickly have to forget about the Cowboys game to prepare for the Chiefs.
"It's going to be a quick turnaround for Kansas City, six days to prepare, so we got to flush this one after tonight and just get ready for the next one," Mack added. "Game 5, got to flush it and get ready for the next one."
Kansas City will pose challenges for the Bolts, but the Chiefs haven't looked like world-beaters this season so far. These two teams have played each other well over the years, so it should be a good game.
Linebacker Eric Kendricks echoed what Mack said and knows the team needs to play better if they want a chance against the Chiefs.
"Division game, big week. Quick turnaround, six days. Excited for the opportunity. This is the NFL, it's not easy. I've been in this situation before. There's only one thing to do, get to work, get to practice, communicate with our guys, fix some issues we have and just tighten up and get that confidence."
Kansas City is beatable, but the Bolts will need to put together a complete game if they want to win. Arrowhead is one of the hardest places to play, but this game could really determine the rest of the Bolts season.
