Justin Herbert delivers gutsy performance in Chargers' playoff-crushing loss

AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 21 of 32 passes for 236 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, adding 37 rushing yards in Saturday's 20-16 loss to the Texans. Herbert, who also recovered two fumbles and took five sacks, appeared to aggravate his surgically repaired left hand after a first-half sack but continued playing. Despite a gutty effort, including a 1-yard TD pass to Oronde Gadsden II, the Chargers' loss shattered their AFC West title hopes and prevented them from clinching the No. 5 seed.
