"Los Angeles' offense is 20th in scoring and 12th in yards, but its defense is the strength of the team. The Chargers are fifth in total defense and ninth in scoring defense. Their defensive success, plus the play of quarterback Justin Herbert, helped the Chargers to 11-6 in the regular season, giving them the AFC's No. 7 seed in the postseason."
"91.3: Justin Herbert has posted a 91.3 passer rating in the last four weeks after undergoing left-hand surgery. For reference, that number would be tied for 19th in the league among eligible passers this season. He's thrown for 885 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions in the four games since he underwent surgery. 8.3: In terms of what to expect when Herbert throws the ball, don't expect him to be super aggressive."
