Justin Herbert goes for first career playoff win tonight
Our Summary
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is set to play his third career playoff game tonight against the New England Patriots. Herbert, now in his sixth NFL season, is seeking his first postseason victory after previous losses to Jacksonville and Houston. In his first playoff appearance, the Chargers squandered a 27-0 lead to lose 31-30 to the Jaguars. Last year, Herbert threw four interceptions in a 32-12 defeat to the Texans. This season, Herbert has been playing with a broken bone in his left hand but still achieved top 10 rankings in passing yards (3,727) and touchdown passes (26), along with 498 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The Chargers are aiming to end their playoff win drought, having last secured a postseason victory in 2018. A win tonight would advance them to face the Denver Broncos next weekend.
