LOS ANGELES -- As many Los Angeles Chargers players showered and dressed before quickly leaving the locker room after Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Detroit Lions, quarterback Justin Herbert sat at his locker in full uniform and gazed forward.
It was Herbert's 21st one-score loss since he entered the league in 2020, three more than any other quarterback in that span.
"I think that's the NFL," said Herbert, who had 323 yards, four touchdowns and an interception Sunday.
Herbert has played in 22 games decided by three points or fewer since he entered the league in 2020, four more than any other quarterback over that span, and is 9-13 in those games.
