Once again, Justin Herbert is the engine of the Chargers offense

New York Times  

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — In the offseason, the Los Angeles Chargers, from players to coaches, talked often and openly about transforming their offensive identity. The Chargers’ successes on that side of the ball have mostly been rooted in Justin Herbert’s right arm, especially since the bye in Week 5. What has happened instead is what has been the case since Herbert became the Chargers’ starting quarterback in 2020: He is driving and elevating the offense with his playmaking in the passing game. The Chargers are “I don’t think we’re at the point where we can say, ‘Hey, this is what we’re going to do, try and stop us,'” Roman said this week. There is also the leaky pass protection, which took a step back in Week 9 when Herbert was pressured on 47.1 percent of his dropbacks, according to TruMedia, and sacked six times against the Browns.
