Ladd McConkey Puts Justin Herbert in MVP Mix as Chargers Surge to 7-3

Herbert's dual‑threat production is driving a 7-3 surge under second‑year coach Jim Harbaugh.

Overview

  • Herbert ranks second in passing yards (2,610) and tied for third in touchdowns (19) through Week 10, and he leads quarterbacks with 324 rushing yards.
  • Los Angeles has won three straight to reach 7-3, including a 25-10 prime‑time win over Pittsburgh that kept them among the AFC's top records.
  • McConkey publicly urged voters to include Herbert in the MVP conversation, underscoring a fast-growing partnership reflected in 631 yards on 51 catches this season.
  • Protection remains a concern with starting tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt out for the season, yet the offense has sustained production.
  • Herbert emphasized a “next play” mindset in a new interview, as a deep receiving group and top‑10 defense set up a demanding stretch against the Eagles, Broncos and Chiefs.
