Justin Herbert Sets Passing Record in Loss

In a frustrating loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert made NFL history by throwing for 349 yards with a 97.1 passer rating while his team failed to score an offensive touchdown. This marks the first time a quarterback has achieved such a feat in a loss, adding to Herbert's notoriety. Despite his impressive yardage, the Chargers struggled offensively, managing only one red zone visit and settling for five field goals, while the Cardinals dominated on the ground with 181 rushing yards. Herbert accepted blame for a critical interception late in the game, acknowledging the need for improvement in his performance. The Chargers' inability to convert opportunities has been a recurring issue this season, exacerbated by their underwhelming rushing attack against a weak Cardinals defense. The game ended with the Cardinals narrowly winning 17-15, showcasing the continued struggles of both offenses.
