Despite helping lead the Chargers to 11 victories — their most since 2018 — it has been a mixed season statistically for Herbert. He averaged a career-low 227.6 passing yards per game, but has a career-best 101.7 passer rating.

The Chargers are heading to the playoffs and Jim Harbaugh continues to prove he's unlike any other head coach in football.

Harbaugh says Herbert’s pass to Ladd McConkey for a two-point conversion Sunday was a more difficult throw than Joe Montana’s legendary pass to Dwight Clark in the 1981 NFC title game.
