Justin Herbert, the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback, put up a great show giving the Chargers a huge lead into the second quarter of the NFL wildcard playoff game vs the Jacksonville Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field on Saturday night.
Fans on Twitter reacted to the quarterback’s excellent show against the Jaguars. They were full of praise for the 24-year-old, who managed to complete two touchdowns and 92% of the passes he threw during Saturday’s game.
“And especially for offensive line, Penei Sewell is cooking on the Lions and looked generational out of high school. Justin Herbert is living up to his draft hype. Thibodeaux looks great. Noah Sewell is going to be a beast. And there’s plenty more to name,” a fan said.
“Justin Herbert is incredible to watch when he’s cooking,” wrote another.
“Yes, but Justin Herbert is cooking the Chiefs,” the third one said.
In the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected Herbert sixth overall. In the quarterback draught, he was selected third, behind Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa.
Herbert committed to a four-year rookie deal on July 25, 2020, with a $26.6 million fully guaranteed salary.
Herbert led the team to a 24-19 victory in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders by completing 279 passes for 3 touchdowns. Herbert threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns for the second straight week in Week 2’s matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Herbert suffered a rib cartilage fracture in the fourth quarter. Even after scoring a late touchdown, the Chargers still lost 27-24. Additionally, Herbert made the playoffs with his team for the first time ever this year.
