Interception barrage, including a pick-six, prompts Texans to bury Chargers
LA TimesThe Texans’ Eric Murray celebrates returning an interception for a touchdown that put the Chargers behind by 14 points in the third quarter. Somehow the Chargers quarterback getting a pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown for the first time in his career wasn’t the low-point of a season-ending loss Saturday. After setting a franchise record for fewest interceptions thrown in a season, Herbert had multiple passes intercepted in a game for the first time since Oct. 22, 2023 against the Kansas City Chiefs. With a chance for their first playoff victory since 2018 slipping away, Herbert — who finished with 242 yards passing and one touchdown — continued to battle. One year after becoming the youngest NFL quarterback to lead his team to a playoff win, Stroud finished with 282 yards passing, one touchdown and one pass intercepted on 22-of-33 passing.
