Jaguars Rout Chargers 35-6 as Herbert Returns From Evaluation, Then Sits Late

The blowout heightened concerns about Justin Herbert’s protection behind an injury-thinned line heading into a bye.

Overview

  • Herbert was shaken up by a hard second-quarter hit, entered the blue medical tent, then returned to open the second half.
  • Coach Jim Harbaugh pulled Herbert in the fourth quarter with the result decided, turning to backup Trey Lance to finish.
  • Herbert completed 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and was sacked twice as Jacksonville generated persistent pressure.
  • Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen set the franchise career sacks record with a second-quarter takedown of Herbert.
  • The Chargers started newly acquired left tackle Trevor Penning and benched right guard Mekhi Becton after halftime, and they enter a Week 12 bye before hosting the Raiders on Nov. 30.
