An interesting, Cincinnati Bengals-adjacent plot twist capped off Sunday's tripleheader of Wild Card Weekend action, as Justin Herbert's Los Angeles Chargers got thumped 16-3 by the New England Patriots in Foxborough.
Herbert managed only 159 passing yards in completing 19 of 31 attempts, as the Pats hounded him all evening to the tune of six sacks. Not the type of postseason performance you'd expect from a quarterback who's so often ranked ahead of Joe Burrow by alleged experts.
Granted, Burrow's durability is a big issue. Anyone with eyeballs knows, too, that he doesn't have the horsepower in his right arm or quite the athleticism that Herbert does.
