In Year 1 of the Jim Harbaugh era, the Los Angeles Chargers rebounded from a disastrous 5-12 campaign in 2023 to go 11-6 in 2024, winning their final three games to clinch the No. 5 seed on the AFC side of the NFL postseason bracket.
Sadly for the Bolts, of course, they still haven't won a playoff game since 2018, as they took an embarrassing 32-12 loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. But given the overall circumstances, the season still has to be seen as a success.
But is this success sustainable or was last year just a fluke?
