The 2024 NFL season was one of renewed hope for the Los Angeles Chargers. In their first season under coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers more than doubled their win total from the previous season, improving from 5-12 to 11-6, and making the playoffs, where they lost in the wild card round to the Houston Texans.

Los Angeles' offense took a step forward under coordinator Greg Roman. Quarterback Justin Herbert set a career-best with just three interceptions in the regular season and the running game improved to league-average. Wide receiver Ladd McConkey was one of the most productive players at the position as a rookie.
