Our Seahawks grabbed another crucial early season win in Week 4, holding off the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23. While we’re celebrating the victory, the real story coming out of that game, and frankly, the entire early season for Justin Herbert, is just how much the Chargers’ quarterback is struggling right now.
Another Rough Outing for Herbert Against the Hawks
Our defense clearly came to play, making Herbert’s day a nightmare. The Chargers QB completed just 19 of 31 passes, managing only 189 yards through the air. He threw for one touchdown, but also coughed up two interceptions, giving our guys plenty of chances to swing the momentum. Add to that six rushes for 40 yards, which isn’t terrible, but he also had one lost fumble. It was definitely not the kind of performance you expect from a supposed top-tier quarterback, and our defense deserves a huge shoutout for making him look so out of sync.
The Numbers Are Getting Hard to Ignore for Herbert
This isn’t just a one-game blip for Herbert, either. The Week 4 loss to Seattle highlighted a disturbing trend for him and the Chargers. Sure, he’s thrown at least one touchdown pass in all four games this season, but his overall numbers are brutal: a measly four touchdown passes against six interceptions. He hasn’t topped 226 passing yards in any of his four starts, and every single one of those games has been a loss for the Chargers. The dude is trending down fast, going from a fantasy QB1 candidate to being barely considered a QB2 in most leagues. It just shows you how much our Hawks’ win contributed to that growing problem for him.
Our Seahawks are proving themselves early, stacking up wins and making life tough for opposing offenses. Let’s keep this momentum rolling, Emerald City, and show the league what our guys are made of!
