I’m not trying to get into a reff-ing game.” Staley said it was “an obvious offensive pass interference.” But he had his hand under the ball, so I thought it was a pick.” “I loved the way we were playing.

Justin Herbert: Peter King left concerned for Chargers after QB's injury (GiveMeSport)

Journalist Peter King has expressed concern for Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert after he suffered an injury against the Kansas City Chiefs.

But I just think that what you have to do the torque you put on your torso, when you’re throwing a football and you’re standing in, I don’t care how well padded he’s going to be against Jacksonville. I would be I’d be worried about the next couple of weeks for him. Herbert played the rest of the game, taking the odd series out to recover, but was noticeably different when he tried to make plays. He carried on that high level of performance last night against the Chiefs, throwing for 334 yards and 3 touchdowns in their thrilling loss, but his night was punctuated by two negative plays despite his brilliant performance. I can’t watch this, this is too painful to watch’. He put on a show in his debut, and didn’t let up from there, going on to set a number of records in his first two seasons in the NFL, setting the record for most passing yards in a quarterback’s first two seasons with 9,350, most total touchdowns in a quarterback’s first two seasons with 77 and became the first quarterback to record 30 touchdown passes in each of his first two seasons.
