Justin Herbert Pulled in Blowout Loss, Chargers QB Enters Bye Week

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 81 yards and one interception in a Week 11 blowout 35-6 road loss to Jacksonville, eventually being pulled for backup Trey Lance. Herbert's day began with an intentional grounding penalty and continued to decline, facing a 52.2% pressure rate and two sacks from a beat-up offensive line. He attempted only 18 passes, with the Chargers' offense running a low 45 plays. Despite leaving briefly to be checked out after a roughing the passer call, he returned to the game. His two deep passes included a 30-yard gain to Keenan Allen and an interception intended for Ladd McConkey. Prior to this performance, Herbert had consistently tallied 17+ fantasy points in every game this season. He now enters a bye week to recover before a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, and is still considered a QB1.
