Jim Harbaugh Defends Justin Herbert Amid Chargers Quarterback Struggles

Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh defended quarterback Justin Herbert following a loss to the Broncos where the two-time Pro Bowler went 14-of-24 for 121 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Harbaugh attributed Herbert's rough start and high turnover count—nine through five games—to "desperation time" and doing everything possible to win. Harbaugh stressed it is the team's responsibility to put Herbert in better positions to succeed moving forward.
