Chargers QB Justin Herbert looks to add playoff victory to list of accomplishments

Associated Press  

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Justin Herbert has accomplished several personal milestones during his first five years in the league. Herbert and the Chargers raced out to a 27-0 first-half lead two years ago at Jacksonville in a wild-card round game, only to have the Jaguars rally for a 31-30 victory. “It takes a long time, especially to have a feel for why he’s calling a certain play and understanding the different checks and what he wants,” Herbert said. “It’s something you can’t just learn in camps and OTAs where you’re not facing a true defense or feeling the true pressure.” The most significant area of improvement in Herbert’s game this season has been using play action. I feel like he has really brought that level of his game up and continues to ascend.” Since being hired by the Chargers last January, coach Jim Harbaugh has been Herbert’s biggest fan.
