Chargers News: John Harbaugh Projects How Ravens' Offense Will Adjust Vs LA Sans Key TE

LA needs to be ready for anything tonight.

Your Los Angeles Chargers will be taking on the Baltimore Ravens tonight from SoFi Stadium in a must-win for themselves. The team is coming off two straight poor performances that have seen them drop close games, and they are in danger of falling even farther from the playoff race.

The game will be a part of NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcast this evening, marking the third time in the last four weeks that LA has been on a nationally televised game. Many are rolling with the Ravens in this content, and rightfully so since they are one of the best teams in the league. 

LA should expect all sorts of movement from the Ravens on the offensive side of the ball tonight, but their offense could look a little different due to a major injury. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh broke down what to expect from his team on offense with tight end Mark Andrews out for the season.

“Everything is on the table, for sure – more wide receivers. We’re going to play those guys [and] those tight ends more than they have played, for sure. [We’re] going to mix it up. One thing we always want to do is keep it moving. We don’t want to become … And sometimes you have to be, and we have in the past; you get forced into certain kind of groups based on what your roster looks like.”

Luckily for the Ravens, they have solid depth at the tight end position and should be fine. But the Bolts defense is going to be tested against Baltimore, and they will need to be ready. Harbaugh knows that they can't replace Andrews, but they will still give the Chargers all they can handle. 

Listen, man, Mark is such a competitor [and] such a talent. He’s a superstar player. It’s impossible to replace him, per se; we have to replace him together, as a group, and I really believe we can do it. And then when he gets back, we’ll just be that much stronger for it – whenever that is.”

If the Chargers can't get off to a strong start, it could bury them. Baltimore has one of the better defenses in the entire league, and it will likely cause fits for the Bolts all game long. This game could potentially save their season, and LA needs to be ready to go from the opening jump.
