It was only a matter of time until Justin Herbert had a big performance, and it came this past weekend in the Chargers’ win over the Vikings.
Herbert completed 40 of his 47 passes for 405 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He became the seventh player in NFL history to have 400 yards, three scores and 40 completions in a game without an INT.
Through three games, Herbert is third in passing yards with 939. Additionally, he sits atop the league in completion percentage (74.4) and is tied for the fourth-most passing touchdowns (6).
Herbert is also the only quarterback without a turnover.
But Herbert is not the only Charger who is shredding the stat sheet. His top target, Keenan Allen, is near the top in various categories at his respective position.
Allen is coming off a performance where he reeled in 18 of 20 targets for 215 yards and a passing touchdown.
Allen leads the NFL in receptions (32), is third in receiving yards (402) and has the fourth-most first-down receptions (17).
