The Los Angeles Chargers are currently 3-5 and sit in third place in the AFC West. This is not the season that the franchise envisioned after finishing 12-4 a season ago.
In need of a scapegoat to explain the poor display, the team has relieved offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt of his duties on Monday night.

The Chargers offense has been middle of the pack despite having Phillip Rivers, Melvin Gordon, Keenan Allen, and Hunter Henry on their roster. The average offense combined with the poor results meant that changes needed to be made.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said the following in statement released by the team:
“This is not an easy decision and definitely not one that I take lightly. You win as a team, and you lose as a team. It’s never about just one person. At the end of the day, however, I simply felt a change was needed at this time. I want to thank Ken for his years of service to the Chargers organization and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
No formal announcement has been made on who will take over play calling responsibilities for the remainder of the season.
