Justin Herbert

Justin Herbert completed 17-of-36 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers’ 34-27, Week 11 win over the Bengals, adding 65 yards on five carries.

Herbert and the Chargers lit up the scoreboard in the first half, hanging 24 points through two quarters to take a tidy 24-6 lead into the break. They would kick an additional field goal on their first possession of the second half before watching the Bengals roar back to tie the game at 27 with just over 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Herbert and the Chargers would trade short drives with the Bengals until their final possession, with a 29-yard touchdown scamper by running back J.K. Dobbins enough to propel the team to victory and a 7-3 record. Herbert made two money throws on that drive to Ladd McConkey, putting the team in position to escape with a win after squandering a 21-point third quarter lead. He also led the team in rushing on just five carries, routinely climbing the pocket into open space to sustain drives. Herbert and the Chargers get another difficult AFC opponent in Week 12 when they host Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
