The fourth-year QB's left hand got caught on the helmet of a Raiders player when he threw an interception late in the third quarter. Herbert returned for the Chargers' next possession and ended up playing all 63 offensive snaps in the contest, finishing with 167 passing yards and 27 rushing yards while accounting for three total touchdowns. With a well-timed bye on tap in Week 5, Herbert will have plenty of time to recover before the Chargers return to action Oct. 16 versus the Cowboys.

Rushing
The fourth-year QB's left hand got caught on the helmet of a Raiders player when he threw an interception late in the third quarter. Herbert returned for the Chargers' next possession and ended up playing all 63 offensive snaps in the contest, finishing with 167 passing yards and 27 rushing yards while accounting for three total touchdowns. With a well-timed bye on tap in Week 5, Herbert will have plenty of time to recover before the Chargers return to action Oct. 16 versus the Cowboys.
Both of Herbert's rushing touchdowns came in the first half as the Chargers raced out to a commanding lead. The star quarterback appeared to injure his middle finger late in the third quarter during an interception return, but he managed to stay in the game with a glove on his left hand. The injury didn't appear to bother Herbert on the final possession of the game as he ripped a laser of a 51-yard throw to Joshua Palmer on 3rd-and-10 to end a furious comeback attempt by the Raiders. Sunday marked the first turnover by Herbert to date, as the fourth-year quarterback appears poised for another massive season.
There has been no sign of the Chargers run-heavy game plan from Week 1 of late, as Herbert topped 40 pass attempts for the second consecutive game. He also topped 400 passing yards for the first time in his career, highlighted by eight completions of at least 20 yards -- one more than he had on the season entering Sunday's contest. New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore promised more downfield passing this offseason, and it certainly appears that he's willing to put games into Herbert's hands.
The Chargers were willing to put the offense in Herbert's hands, and he responded with an excellent performance. He completed four passes of 20 or more yards while also tossing touchdowns from eight and 12 yards away, both of which went to Keenan Allen. Herbert's volume was also reassuring, as he was limited to only 33 attempts in Week 1 as the team ran its offense through the ground game. Overall, he has 534 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions across two games this season.
