Herbert vs. Patrick Mahomes
The young prodigy has expressed his wish to play against the Jaguars. But the decision was always in flux throughout the week. The Chargers could not dominate over the Kansas City Chiefs and gave them a 27-24 win. Herbert completed 33 of 48 passes for 334 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and an expensive pick-six to conclude the game.
Herbert is definitely a long-running asset to the franchise, as he has shown his capabilities in many ways. Last season, he completed 65.9% of his passes while completing 5,014 yards, 38 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. His phenomenal stats helped him earn his first Pro Bowl selection only after playing for two seasons. And also, he received the Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2020.
