The Chargers quarterback has put up a strong case for the NFL’s best player after passing his team to victory in another well-executed game. Herbert is on track to break Dan Marino’s single season touchdown record and if he does, it would be an unprecedented achievement that could change how we see quarterbacks forever.
The “herbert chargers” is a quarterback for the Chargers. He has been having an outstanding season so far, and he has entered the territory of Dan Marino.
He rolls right, escapes pressure, looks downfield, and throws a 59-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Guyton just seconds before the half closes. On Sunday, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert did just that to help his team expand their advantage against the New York Giants.
It was yet another spectacular play by the second-year quarterback, who has made a habit of throwing the long pass. Herbert was in the same room as Miami Dolphins icon Dan Marino during the win against the Giants. Brandon Staley, the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, praised him profusely.
As the Chargers cruise to win, Justin Herbert shows off the cannon with yet another unbelievable deep bomb.
Please let us watch this again.
Herbert’s ball was a complete dime, something he has done a lot of in his NFL career. As the Chargers cruised to a 37-21 win, Herbert completed 23-of-31 for 275 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers.
Herbert has been among the finest quarterbacks in the NFL this season. He is still in the top five in both yards and touchdowns, behind only by Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford, and Patrick Mahomes.
This throw from Herbert elicited a cry of delight from the football world, and it was well-deserved.
Herbert’s bomb was dubbed “the throw of the year” and “the finest throw ever,” among other accolades, and he has a long future ahead of him.
The Chargers’ win moves them within a game of the Kansas City Chiefs for first place in the AFC West, and LA has already beaten the reigning champs this season. In addition, Herbert joined a select group of people, including Dan Marino in an elite club.

This fact alone is remarkable. Herbert has thrown 60 touchdown passes in fewer than two seasons. What’s more amazing is how he got here.
LA chose Tyrod Taylor as the starter after drafting him sixth overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. However, a freak, fluke injury to Taylor just minutes before the Chargers’ second game forced them to play Herbert, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Now, Herbert joins Marino as the youngest quarterback to throw 60 touchdowns, and at this rate, there will be plenty more records with Herbert’s name on them.
After passing for his 30th touchdown of the season, Herbert established yet another NFL record.
In 2020, Justin Herbert will have the most throwing touchdowns of any rookie in history, with 31.
Justin Herbert has 30 throwing touchdowns through 13 games in 2021.
Herbert is the only player in NFL history to throw 30 or more touchdown passes in both of his rookie seasons.

Impressive. There aren’t a lot of other words to describe it. Herbert continues to show why he is a special player, and the Chargers are closing up on the Chiefs for the AFC West title in 2021.

In the first year of Brandon Staley’s tenure in Los Angeles, things are looking up. After a tough few weeks, the Chargers bounced back with a big win against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, followed by a rout of the Giants.
The Chargers are fourth in pass yards per game, sixth in scoring, and seventh in total yards per game in the NFL. The offense has figured things out, and after the game, Staley gushed over his star quarterback (h/t Daniel Popper of The Athletic).
“You’re experiencing something extraordinary.”
Justin Herbert vs. Brandon Staley
That is a wonderful description of Herbert. The Chargers have a superstar on their hands with exceptional skill and a rare player who has earned parallels to John Elway.
With a victory over the Chiefs, the Chargers would be atop the AFC West with the season winding down, and Herbert is a big reason for it.
