Justin Herbert’s search for his first career playoff win was once again unsuccessful as the Chargers were toppled in the wild-card round by the Patriots, 16–3. The putrid showing from the Los Angeles offense only served to highlight the team’s lack of postseason success in the Herbert era.
The star quarterback just wrapped up his sixth season in the NFL. Since drafting the former Oregon Duck in the first round in 2020, the Chargers have made three trips to the postseason. Not one has lasted more than a single game. L.A. is winless in the playoffs since 2019, and despite all there is to love about Herbert, he hasn’t gotten the job done when the stakes are raised.
