Time, rest and treatment for a sprained ankle have been vital to the quarterback getting healthy and again making key plays through the air and on the ground

Herbert has been arguably the best quarterback in the NFL over the last month or so as his team has won four of its last five. It’s something recently brought up by former pro passer Chase Daniel on The Facility .

The Nov. 17 matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers (6-3) and the Cincinnati Bengals (4-6) will feature a battle between QBs Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow. Below, we highlight all of the stats and trends you need to know about these two signal callers heading into this week's matchup.

Nonetheless, the Harbaugh-Herbert pairing has worked wonders in 2024, and the Chargers head coach has even given a new nickname to the signal-caller. Before that, he even named Herbert as the toughest QB in NFL history.

Herbert looks stellar after an early adjustment period to new coach Jim Harbaugh’s game plan. The first four outings saw Herbert only average 144 passing yards per game. Opening up the playbook the last four games, he nearly doubled his passing yards to 286 per contest.
