Chargers’ Justin Herbert had a wild game in the playoffs against the Texans

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had four interceptions in his team’s 32-12 playoff loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday. Herbert threw just three interceptions during the regular season, joining Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as the only quarterbacks to throw three or fewer in a season.

But Herbert didn’t resemble Brady or Rodgers in any way during his disastrous day on Saturday. With four interceptions and just 14 tackles from 32 attempts, Herbert had perhaps the worst performance of his career.

It also dropped his playoff record to 0-2. His only other playoff game was a historic shutout against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 wild card round.

Herbert was the target of heavy criticism on social media during and after Saturday’s game.

Saturday’s game also featured a unique moment in NFL playoff history.

Houston’s D’Angelo Ross returned a blocked extra point for two points in the fourth quarter, the first such play in NFL postseason history.

The play came after Ladd McConkey scored on an 86-yard reception early in the fourth quarter. Cameron Dicker’s extra point attempt was blocked by Denica Autry.

The ball flew high into the air when deflected, and Dicker tried to knock it down, but it bounced out of his hands. Ross scooped it up and returned it for a score that extended Houston’s lead to 25-12.

The NFL began awarding two points for an extra point returned in the end zone in 2015. Before that, a blocked extra point taken away by the defense was a dead ball.

According to Sportradar, it was the ninth extra point returned for a score since the rule change. It happened once in the 2024 regular season, when the Eagles did it against Tampa Bay on Sept. 29.

With the loss, the Chargers end their season without a playoff win for the sixth consecutive season. They haven’t won a playoff game since Philip Rivers’ last postseason appearance with the team in 2018, when they beat the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card game.

The Texans won a playoff game for the second year in a row under the leadership of quarterback C.J. Stroud and head coach DeMecca Ryans.
