Bolts From The Blue on Justin Herbert
From the article
It's been hell for Justin Herbert and the offense all year. Houston has picked off Herbert five times and chances are they'll add to that total this weekend. The last two times Justin Herbert and the Chargers have faced the Texans have been a nightmare. In last year's matchup on December 25th, the Chargers lost 20-16 in a game Herbert threw one touchdown to one interception. The prior game against Houston was the wild card matchup in January of '25 where Herbert threw four interceptions in one of his worst outings as a pro.
STACKED’s take
Herbert faces Texans with brutal history: 5 INTs in past two games, including 4 in wild card.
Herbert faces a nightmare matchup against the Texans, who have picked off Herbert five times in recent meetings. In last year's December 25th matchup, Herbert threw one touchdown to one interception in a 20-16 loss. In the prior wild card game in January 2025, Herbert threw four interceptions in one of his worst outings as a pro. The source states that despite the Texans defense not being its usual elite self, they still have numerous players who can make splash plays. Herbert and the Chargers have never looked like a worse, less-cohesive unit, and even the return of healthy receivers did nothing for production in Week Eight—they scored just nine points after the bye with Herbert throwing his second interception.
