The last time the Chargers faced the Raiders, quarterback Justin Herbert tied Baker Mayfield’s single-season rookie record for touchdown passes in NFL history by throwing his 27th touchdown pass just before halftime.
The former Oregon product threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tyron Johnson in the second quarter of the game to tie Mayfield’s record last December.
Herbert entered the game with 25 touchdown passes, and a 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Hunter Henry set up his notable rookie accomplishment.
The game was down to the wire between the Bolts and the Raiders; however, Herbert had a game-winning touchdown run in overtime to lead the Chargers to a 30-27 win against Vegas.
