The Seahawks will be looking for a rebound on Sunday while the Chargers just want a win

The Seattle Seahawks need just a few tweaks, according to coach Mike Macdonald. No need to overhaul the defending Super Bowl champions in the wake of one loss.

The Seahawks fell 33-31 last weekend on the road against the Washington Commanders, snapping a 12-game winning streak. They'll look to rebound at home on Sunday when they face the winless Los Angeles Chargers .

“In our world, we try to remain as consistent as possible and think about the things that we can control within our process, that we can improve,” Macdonald said. "Obviously, the context after a loss is a little bit different than after a win, but we try to keep the mentality the same. It’s good exercise in practicing what we preach this week.”

One of the areas that needs a look is the running game. The Seahawks gained just 44 yards on the ground against the Commanders and just 19 in the second half.

Rookie running back Jadarian Price lost a fumble early in the game and finished with 15 yards on five carries.

Help may soon be on the way. Zach Charbonnet is still on the physically unable to perform list, but once he practices, there will be a 21-day window to return to the active roster. Macdonald said Charbonnet could return to practice Thursday.

Charbonnet, who was sidelined by a torn ACL, ran for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.

“He’s doing a great job and he’s in a great position mentally. It’s just about what’s the best time and how does that create the most opportunities to get them ready to play?” Macdonald said.

But again, the Seahawks aren't looking for a wholesale run-game rebuild.

“Sometimes you just don’t get the run game off the ground in a certain game and you don’t hit the panic button, you just go back to work and try to find more solutions and just keep trying to solve problems and go try to make it better," Macdonald said.

As for the Chargers, well, they just need a win after starting 0-3. Only one team has ever gone to the playoffs after an 0-4 start. That team was the 1992 San Diego Chargers.

Following the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills last weekend, coach Jim Harbaugh said quarterback Justin Herbert needs to improve.

Herbert has thrown for 627 yards and three touchdowns with four interceptions through three games.

And he's been sacked eight times.

“Be better. Be better,” Harbaugh said. “And that drives Justin, that drives me, that drives his position coach, that drives Mike (McDaniel), the coordinator. I mean, it drives us all.”
