description

Whether fair or unfair, gifted quarterbacks who ink contracts in today’s AFC will often be measured through one question: can you produce the must-have plays needed to survive that title-winning team in red-and-gold? Tested during his rookie season’s Week 2, Justin Herbert looked the part, sparking the Chargers’ early-game momentum by rolling out for a physical four-yard score. Guaranteed to, at some point, introduce his gifted-as-ever arm, Herbert returned later, rainbowing a 14-yard touchdown over the Kansas City Chiefs’ secondary. Moral victories mean little, but Herbert’s efforts on Sept. 20, 2020 prompted overtime against the then-defending champions; the final box score saw 311 yards (on 22-of-33 passing) and a touchdown, alongside a four-carry, 18-yard, one-touchdown complement in the 23-20 loss.
