Justin Herbert had a difficult second NFL playoff game.
In Saturday’s 32–12 loss to the Houston Texans, the former Oregon Ducks standout and fifth-year quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers tossed four interceptions, including a pick-six to Texans defender Eric Murray late in the third quarter of the Wild Card playoff game.

After three quarters, the Chargers were behind the Texans, 20–6.
As the ball deflected off tight end Will Dissly’s hands a few plays into the fourth quarter, Herbert threw his third interception of the game to Derek Stingley. Soon later, the Texans increased their lead to 23-6 with a 30-yard field goal.

Before Saturday, Herbert had only made three interceptions in the whole season.
He would respond along with the Chargers, scoring an 86-yard touchdown after Herbert hit Ladd McConkey up the middle. Unfortunately for Los Angeles, the Texans blocked and returned the resulting extra point for two points, making the score 25-12.

The game ended with a final score of 32–12 when Texans running back Joe Mixon thundered into the end zone. After that, Herbert would make his fourth interception of the evening, letting Houston finish the game.
With 242 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions, Herbert finished 14–32. He received four terminations.
