Chargers' Jim Harbaugh explains heart issue that led to his brief exit from game vs Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers CB Asante Samuel Jr. said that HC Jim Harbaugh is "down to Earth, and loves ball". Jason McIntyre and Albert Breer discuss the expectations on the Chargers entering 2024.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh raised concerns early in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos when he left the sideline and headed to the locker room.

The concerns led to Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh abruptly ending his postgame press conference to call his brother to make sure everything was OK.

Jim Harbaugh returned to the sideline and coached the Chargers to a 23-16 win over the Broncos. He explained he got checked for an irregular heartbeat.
