00:00one-handed superhero justin herbert wills chargers two o t win over eagles with a glove on his surgically repaired left hand and his team's fortunes in his right justin herbert soldiered through sixty seven minutes and twenty five seconds of football
00:14herbert withstood not just the pain in his broken hand but a beating delivered by a ferocious philadelphia eagles pass rush weathering a career-high seven sacks herbert piloted his chargers to a twenty two to nineteen overtime triumph captaining a game-tying fourth quarter drive and a game-winning drive in ot with one hand and two fleet feet on monday night he had surgery a week ago and out here tonight chargers head coach jim harbaugh exclaimed of herbert who
00:44was left with a bloodied left elbow as well it felt like i was in a movie where the quarterbacks doing these things and you get to the point where you go okay this is getting a little unrealistic you know that's what it felt like to me he refuses to lose he's as tough as they get he's a superhero quarterback statistically speaking stellar stat lines were difficult to find on either team and herbert was hardly super when it came to the numbers he was twelve of twenty six career low forty six point two
01:14two percent for one hundred thirty nine yards with a touchdown an interception and a fifty nine point six qb rating the lowest in a win in his career he also rushed for a season high sixty six yards on ten attempts somehow herbert stood up to a sixty eight point three percent pressure rate the third highest in a game in the next-gen stats era since 2016
01:36it's all about winning and that's job no one herbert said about how the stats played out
01:43obviously there's a lot of plays i'd like to clean up
01:46herbert broke his hand during his team's week 13 sunday win over the las vegas raiders
01:52he underwent surgery the following monday
01:55though it wasn't reported until just before inactives were released monday that herbert would be active
02:00the oregon product said he knew he would play long before
02:03probably sunday of last week he smiled when asked when he knew for certain
02:08if he'd play
02:09for herbert who's shockingly now two to zero with his broken hand and three to zero in games when he's taken six plus sacks
02:15making the decision to play with a busted left hand wasn't much of a decision at all
02:20honestly
02:21i just think about the guys in that locker room
02:24and they do it for us
02:25he said
02:26there have been multiple guys
02:28i think troy die and elijah molden broke their hands
02:31and i think they were playing the next week too
02:34they probably don't get enough credit for that
02:36just because i'm the quarterback i get to talk about that
02:39but those guys
02:40they battle
02:41and there are
02:42so many guys in that locker room that are fighting through so many different injuries
02:47and things worse than what i'm going through
02:50so it's the least that i can do is show up and give my best effort for
02:54them it took little time monday for herbert
02:56to show he was up to the task of leading the chargers despite being
03:00essentially a one-handed qb
03:02he moved la80
03:04yards on six plays
03:06in just 249 on the opening drive
03:08hitting kamani vidal on a dump off
03:11with the running back screaming down the sideline for a 60-yard gain
03:15a few plays later
03:17herbert hit the returning o'marian hampton for a four-yard touchdown
03:20unfortunately that was the chargers last trip to the end zone
03:24they relied on five field goals from cameron dicker
03:28and a lights-out defense
03:29along with herbert willing them forward
03:31vidal had just the one catch for 60 yards
03:35which stood as a team high
03:37second behind him was leading receiver keenan allen
03:40with a modest three catches for 22 yards
03:43in a chaotic week 14 finale that featured eight combined turnovers
03:48and saw the victorious team
03:50muster just 275 yards of offense
03:54herbert and co were trailing 19 to 16
03:57with 2 16 left when they took over on their 28-yard line
04:01herbert drove the chargers 43 yards in 11 plays to set up
04:06a dicker 46-yard game-tying field goal
04:10he had three carries for 20 yards on the march
04:13la took the ball to open overtime
04:15and herbert was more than game
04:17opening with a 12-yard scramble around right tackle
04:21in which he stunningly stiffed farmed reed blankenship
04:24with his broken hand
04:25he's a superhero
04:26he's a competitive maniac
04:29harbaugh said
04:29he was even stiff-arming guys with a broken hand
04:32said herbert of the feet
04:33at that point
04:35it was probably just instinctual
04:37instincts
04:38grit and fortitude saw herbert m arch the bolts
04:4334 yards in six plays
04:45to set up dicker's final field goal
04:4854-yarder
04:49safety tony jefferson then intercepted yalen hurts to secure the win
04:54as the la defense truly was the catalyst
04:57it was the one-handed qb who was the hero on monday night however
