What happened: The Los Angeles Chargers have generated zero offensive points since Week 6, ranking lowest across the NFL during that span. The Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings sit tied for the second-fewest offensive points scored at 18 each. Four additional teams—the Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, and Washington Commanders—follow closely behind with 24 offensive points.

Why it matters: Prolonged offensive droughts carry direct postseason implications as teams reach the midpoint of the 2026 regular season. The Ravens dropped to 4-4 following a 36-10 loss to Buffalo, sliding to the No. 10 seed in the AFC amid a three-game losing streak. Cleveland fell to 5-3 and the No. 8 seed after scoring only six points in its Week 9 loss at Pittsburgh.

What to watch: Offenses facing production droughts will look to adjust personnel and scheme ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Contenders in the cluster must reverse second-half scoring slumps to protect positioning in crowded wild-card races.
