This Sunday night, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has the opportunity to finally get the first playoff win of his career against the second-seeded New England Patriots.

He did this while averaging a 60.7 passer rating and being part of a team that blew a 27-0 lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars back in 2023, and another team with a #1 scoring defense that got blown out 32-12 against the Houston Texans last season.
After six NFL seasons, and though it will have to come against the second-best team in the AFC, Herbert must find a way to overcome the odds and prove that he's more than just a "regular season quarterback".
