Hampton, currently in his second season, finished the contest with nine carries, accumulating 45 yards and a single touchdown. His counterpart, Keaton Mitchell, saw significant usage off the bench, recording 10 carries for 39 yards. Observing this division of labor, Fehoko expressed skepticism regarding offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s approach, specifically highlighting the decision to rotate Hampton out in favor of Mitchell.
The offensive struggles extended beyond the backfield as quarterback Justin Herbert faced a difficult outing. Herbert completed 19 of his passing attempts for 189 yards, recording one touchdown pass to Kimani Vidal alongside two interceptions. Additionally, Herbert contributed to the ground game, adding 40 yards on six carries.
On the opposite side, the Seattle Seahawks were led by quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold finished the game 13-of-22 for 168 yards, throwing two touchdowns with one interception. One of those touchdown passes was caught by Emanuel Wilson, who also secured a six-point rushing score during the game.
This loss represents a mounting challenge for the Chargers as they navigate a winless streak early in the season. With the 2026 campaign reaching a critical juncture, the tactical decisions made by the coaching staff, including the specific usage of the running back committee, remain a point of scrutiny among former players and fans monitoring the team’s progress.
For those tracking the team’s outlook, the Los Angeles Chargers continue to update their depth chart and full season schedule as they attempt to correct their course. Analysts and supporters remain focused on whether these rotation strategies will shift as the franchise looks to snap its four-game losing streak.
