Los Angeles Chargers lose 32-12 to the Houston Texans in the AFC playoffs.

The Chargers ' season was about casting off the boulder of underachieving disappointment that had settled on the shoulders of this franchise.

A season of hopeful progress rolled backward for Los Angeles .

L.A. looked like a roster of players hellbent on wearing that dismissive “ Chargers are Chargering ” sash.

In a season of exceptional changes, it was a recession to a familiar low.

It's unlikely that one bad playoff loss erases all of the core gains Harbaugh and his staff made over the course of the season .

For now, Chargers fans will have to hope that — and Harbaugh ’s unyielding optimism — will continue to facilitate change and reshape a franchise identity that has yet to change when it matters most.
