Two teams pegged as Super Bowl LXI hopefuls are staring down the barrel of missing the playoffs entirely right now. I’m talking about the Los Angeles Chargers and the Houston Texans, both of whom just hit 0-3 after brutal Sunday losses. Seriously, who saw this coming?
Herbert’s Heartbreak in Buffalo
The Bolts took a 24-16 L against the Buffalo Bills, and man, it was a gut punch. Justin Herbert, usually so clutch, threw a critical interception late in that game. You feel that one deep, don’t you? For a team with their kind of talent and preseason hype, to be sitting at 0-3 is just mind-boggling. Fans everywhere are scratching their heads wondering how a squad with Super Bowl aspirations could be in this deep a hole before October even hits.
Texans Can’t Stop The Bleeding
Over in Houston, the Texans didn’t fare any better. They dropped a 19-17 stunner to the Indianapolis Colts. Imagine fighting that hard only to lose because you can’t stop a game-deciding field goal drive. Ouch. Both these teams are in serious danger of watching the postseason from home, a complete flip from where everyone thought they’d be.
Our Hawks Are Next!
What’s next for these struggling squads? The Texans gotta regroup fast because the Dallas Cowboys are coming to visit next Sunday. But for us here in the Emerald City? We’ve got our eyes on the Chargers. They get to travel to Lumen Field next Sunday to face our defending champion Seattle Seahawks. You know our 12s will be ready to make some noise! They better bring their A-game, because things are only gonna get tougher when they roll into our house.
