After a stellar offensive performance against the Eagles last week, Justin Herbert put up a dud alongside offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi in a game where points were way harder to come by than you would have initially expected. Against a Vikings defense missing almost half of their starters, Herbert completed 20-of-34 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown with a bad interception in Chargers territory.
The Vikings played “keep away” the best they could, recording over 10 more minutes of possession time. While the Minnesota run game wasn’t what it normally is, they rushed for over 100 yards and played a large role in giving the Chargers minimal opportunities to score points throughout the night.
