DJ Uiagalelei, the undrafted quarterback out of Florida State, officially made his NFL debut on Sunday, stepping in for Justin Herbert late in the fourth quarter. His very first drive? It ended with a touchdown pass, giving the Los Angeles Chargers a momentary spark while they were trailing big against the Houston Texans.
This whole scene unfolded after Justin Herbert headed to the medical tent with what looked like an apparent hand injury, forcing Uiagalelei into action. It’s wild, right? One minute you’re an undrafted guy, the next you’re slinging TDs in your NFL debut because your star QB is on the sideline. For the Chargers, this has to be a gut punch, getting stomped by the Texans and seeing Herbert go down.
What this means for Herbert’s hand going forward, and for Uiagalelei’s role, is definitely something we’ll be watching. Meanwhile, while things were looking rough for the Bolts, our Seahawks were out there doing work! The Arizona Cardinals came to Lumen Field and left with only 3 points as our Hawks put up 17 for the W. What a Sunday for Seattle fans, even if the Chargers game was a wild ride.
