There’s been quite a bit of consternation about the Chargers’ passing game this season, led by offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, and enacted by quarterback Justin Herbert. It is indeed a mystery why a quarterback with Herbert’s arm talent has been allowed to throw the ball deep on just 27 attempts heading into the Chargers’ Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Herbert had completed 13 of those passes of 20 or more air yards for 392 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.
There was one pass Herbert threw against the Seahawks that will not add to his quiver of explosive passing plays in any form or fashion.
