Gronkowski criticizes Chargers after 0-2 start

Published 26 September 2026

Rob Gronkowski criticized the Los Angeles Chargers’ performance after their 0-2 start, calling them “probably the biggest mess in the NFL” and saying problems extended across the offense. His remarks came as Week 3 fantasy football coverage also focused on injuries and player availability, while a separate scouting analysis identified five college prospects as possible fits for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2027 draft. Gronkowski, a former NFL tight end, said the Chargers’ struggles involved quarterback play, offensive coordination, the offensive line and receivers, rather than one player alone. The team had averaged 14 points per game through its first two contests, according to the report carrying his comments. Quarterback Justin Herbert had thrown two touchdowns and three interceptions and completed 59.3% of his passes, the same report said. These figures describe the opening two games and do not establish how the Chargers would perform later in the season. The Week 3 fantasy articles described several injury-related changes to expected lineups. Two reported that New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart had been placed on injured reserve and would miss the rest of the season.
