The Los Angeles Chargers came out of the bye week with an impressive road win over the Denver Broncos to improve to 3-2 for the season. More significant than the game itself, however, was head coach Jim Harbaugh's health scare on the sideline.

Before the game, Harbaugh was seen entering the medical tent and then heading to the locker room. It was revealed after the game that the 60-year-old suffered an arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat. Also called an episode of atrial flutter, the medical scare caused Harbaugh to seek help before the game. He had two previous episodes of the incident, once in 2012 and in 1999.

Harbaugh addressed the media on Monday after seeing a cardiologist in the morning. He revealed that he would be wearing a heart monitor for two weeks before getting re-evaluated. According to Chargers insider Daniel Popper, the head coach has no interest in slowing down.

NFL News: Jim Harbaugh Will Continue to Be On the Sideline

In the next two weeks, the doctors will be keeping a close eye on Harbaugh. The former Michigan coach said that an ablation procedure is still an option. He previously underwent the procedure in the previous two times he had atrial flutter.

The Bolts visit Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Monday Night Football in Week 7. Harbaugh certainly sounded like he was going to be there with his team. Let's hope that is the case and the former 49ers head coach doesn't give us any more scares.
