The Los Angeles Chargers fell to 0-8 for the season on Sunday, losing to the Houston Texans, 44-22. The defense had arguably its worst game of the season.

But, the Chargers offense finally scored a touchdown for the first time since Week 5.

In their eighth straight loss of the season, the Chargers snapped a streak that lasted 37 consecutive drives (11 quarters of football) until Quentin Johnston’s score against the Texans. Reporters asked tight end Charlie Kolar about the nightmare streak, which he didn’t know about.

“37!?” Kolar said. “I wish you never told me that.”

Kolar, who joined the Chargers on a three-year, $24.3 million deal in the offseason, might have just delivered the most honest answer about the team’s 2026 season.

“We’re 0-8. It is so hard to mentally and emotionally be present. I didn’t even know that we hadn’t scored (a touchdown) in that long,” Kolar said.

“What was the question? I’m sorry.”

The Chargers have been reluctant to admit the campaign is a losing season, but with an 0-8 record, the team looks impractical acting like nothing has to change. And yet, the front office is reportedly unwilling to trade any of its players ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

The Chargers are at rock bottom, but their refusal to understand where they are has hindered any progress for the team this year. Kolar’s answer is perhaps the most authentic response to the Chargers’ winless season.

No other Chargers personnel have spoken so candidly about the team’s embarrassing performance, but Kolar admitted the difficulties of staying focused when your team is this bad.
