Herbert completed 22 of 32 passes for 314 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders on Thursday night.
He also rushed four times for 14 yards and a game-winning score, committing a fumble on the play prior to that, which was recovered by fullback Gabe Nabers. The rookie QB had been in somewhat of a yardage slump by his lofty standards, as he'd fallen short of the 300-yard mark in two straight games after eclipsing the figure in six of his first 10 career contests. However, a back-and-forth affair that culminated in an extra period offered the 22-year-old just enough opportunity to get back to a hefty tally through the air Thursday. Herbert has paid off handsomely in both a real-world and fantasy sense during a prolific first season as a pro and he'll look to continue his momentum against the Broncos in a Week 16 matchup Sunday, Dec. 27.
