"Almost immediately after a thrilling overtime victory against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, Justin Herbert went in for imaging and X-rays on his ailing left hand. The Chargers quarterback had passed for 139 yards and ran for 66 more in a 22-19 win just a week after undergoing surgery to stabilize a fracture in his non-throwing hand. Now, after one of the biggest wins of the season, he was hoping to receive good news about his injury despite being sacked a career-worst seven times."
"Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh described Herbert's performance against the Eagles as "the most competitive thing" he ever saw. Herbert, however, gave a negative self-assessment - he threw an interception and lost the ball once on two fumbles. For Herbert, it wasn't good enough for a Chargers team vying to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in more than three decades."
