Summary
Mike McDaniel will call plays from the booth Sunday instead of the sideline, a change Jim Harbaugh approved as the 0-7 Chargers search for their first win.
Twenty-seven straight drives without a touchdown — spanning nine quarters — pushed the switch after Los Angeles fell to an NFL-worst 14.1 points per game.
McDaniel said the booth should give him a clearer all-22 view to spot adjustments between series, though it costs face-to-face sideline communication.
Sunday’s game against the 2-4 Texans is the immediate test for a Chargers offense that entered the season with high expectations around Justin Herbert and McDaniel.
