Khalil Mack Had a Candid Admission on Jim Harbaugh's Message After Chargers' Week 2 Loss to the Raiders 1

Something is not right with the Los Angeles Chargers, as they are now winless through two weeks in the 2026 NFL season.
After getting upset in a 26-14 loss at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood in Week 1, the Bolts let their fans down again at home in Week 2, with Khalil Mack and company absorbing a 26-14 defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders.
The losses are painful for Los Angeles supporters and, of course, the players.
Following the game, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh talked to his team, but his message seemingly did not immediately register with Mack.
“Honestly, I blanked out the whole time. I don’t really know,” the nine-time Pro Bowler linebacker said, via Kris Rhim of ESPN. “My mind was on the game still, but I feel like it had something to do with picking up the pieces and getting this thing right.”
Mack also said that he was “pissed,” but still believes in Los Angeles turning the corner soon.
It is Not About to Get Much Easier for Mack and the Chargers

Los Angeles has no choice but to charge ahead and keep trying, regardless of how bad the first two weeks have been for the team. That said, the Bolts are facing a tough challenge in Week 3, as they will be playing their first road game of the season, and it will be against the well-rested and high-powered Buffalo Bills.
The Bills, who crushed the Detroit Lions last Thursday, 41-31, are 2-0. They opened their 2026 campaign with a 36-31 victory over the Houston Texans on the road.
With Josh Allen leading Buffalo’s attack, the Bills have scored a total of 77 points to date. Mack and the Chargers stop unit will have their hands full against Buffalo on Sept. 27 at the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.
