Considering the way 2020 has gone, it might seem like ages since Justin Herbert made his first NFL start.
But for the Los Angeles Chargers rookie, the season has gone quickly.
Herbert and the Chargers wrap up the season Sunday at Kansas City. He made his first start on Sept. 20 against the Chiefs when he found out less than a minute before kickoff that he was playing. Despite the lack of snaps with the first team, Herbert showed right away that he would be a quick study with 311 yards and a touchdown in a 23-20 overtime loss.
“I think you blink and you realize that you’re in (game) 16,” Herbert said. “It feels like it was just yesterday that we played the Chiefs.”
