Without Herbert the rest of the way on Sunday, Los Angeles went on to lose 24-7 and fall far down the ladder for AFC wild-card contention.

Given the Chargers tumbling behind six teams that are 7-6 in the AFC wild-card standings, Herbert being out was the best decision going forward.

Herbert’s season will end with him passing for 3,134 yards this season, 20 touchdowns, and a 63.8 quarterback rating.

He appeared to be well on his way to a second Pro Bowl appearance, though he would not be available to attend the festivities anyway.
