Supports. AP reports that the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Jim Harbaugh-led Los Angeles Chargers 26-14 on Sunday in Inglewood, Calif., in Mike LaFleur's head coaching debut.[1][3]
Supports. Field Level Media (Reuters) reports a 26-14 Cardinals victory over the Chargers on September 13, 2026, with Jacoby Brissett throwing for 277 yards and a touchdown.[2]
Supports. ESPN's game recap and multiple scoreboards (Yahoo, CBS, 365Scores, Plain Text Sports) confirm the final score of Arizona 26, Los Angeles Chargers 14.[4][5][6][7][8]
