The Los Angeles Chargers, for most, are seen as one of the better teams in the AFC. Led by Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert, L.A. has been nothing if not consistent in the two years the pair have been together.

Back-to-back 11-win seasons have seen the Chargers build a solid foundation under Harbaugh, but in both seasons, L.A. has been one-and-done in the playoffs. That isn't great.

For a team that does have the talent and has had bad luck on the injury front, the Chargers are too good a team to play the way they do in the postseason.

And for defensive tackle Teair Tart, after posting 22 regular-season wins and not one playoff victory in the past two years, it's fair to say he's over it.

"I think we're [bleeping] starving," Tart said via the team's official website.

Chargers starving for playoff success

Since Herbert became the starter, the Chargers have made the postseason three times in six seasons and are 0-3 in those playoff games.

That isn't great, and now the Chargers have to try and halt that slide in 2026.

L.A. is good enough to be a playoff team this season, no doubt about it, but the question surrounding the team isn't what it does in the regular season; it's what it does when the playoffs begin.
