However, just getting to the postseason is no longer the goal; the Chargers have visions of an AFC Championship appearance dancing in their head.
On Wednesday, the gang on "The Pat McAfee Show" brought up the 2025 Chargers, and the crew on the "progrum" had nothing but nice things to say about the squad.

There's no time like the present for Johnston to have his breakout season, then right now. The 2023 first-round pick has received a lot of negative talk due to having a little bit of a drop issue in his first two seasons in the league.
However, waiting for that issue to solve itself can no longer be the case for Johnston. The Chargers need a deep threat presence in the passing game, and they are expecting Johnston to be the answer for that. This is a big season for not only the Chargers but also Johnston's future with the franchise.
