News about Joe Lombardi

After Los Angeles' historic playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend, head coach Brandon Staley insists he is not concerned about rumors over his future. On Saturday night, the Chargers were on the wrong end of the third-largest playoff comeback in NFL history, when the Jaguars bounced from a 27-point deficit to win 31-30 and book their spot in the Divisional Round. It was a tragic evening for Los Angeles, who responded by parting company with offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and quarterback Shane Day. Many have called for Staley to resign as head coach, with ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith stating, 'there's no coming back from this' following their humbling demise.

In the aftermath of the Los Angeles Chargers' 27-point loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and quarterback Shane Day have been fired. The Lombardians' offense got off to a promising start in their Wildcard playoff against the Jaguars on Saturday, when they exploded into a 27-0 lead in the second quarter. Nevertheless, they only went on to score another three points over the remainder of the game, giving Jacksonville one of the most remarkable NFL turnarounds of all time. Los Angeles was on the wrong end of the third biggest playoff comeback in history, losing 31-30 at the end, but Lombardi and Day were the real culprits.

Sean Payton, the former New Orleans head coach, has described how the Saints franchise came within minutes of bringing Drew Brees and Patrick Mahomes into the quarterback room.

Marshawn Lattimore, the Saints' 2017 defensive rookie of the year, was picked in 11th over the Saints' 11th pick.
