AFC Championship at least Justin Herbert ain't holding us back.

Tyreek had like two or three targets that if he caught would have been touchdowns. We match up better with the Chargers, might give Joejuan the start at corner to match up against the size of Mike Williams.

I'm over here trying to decide which team to use and Soapy already finished a season. This why you one of the GOATs.

a lot of people are saying this. humbled.

Herbert leads Chargers to AFC Championship Game with win over Patriots
Two of Justin Herbert's worst games as a pro came against Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots who have been able to ground the Chargers aerial attack led by their second-year signal caller.

Herbert might not have exorcised those demons completely but did just enough, leading his team down the field and drawing a controversial pass interference to setup Kaimi Fairbairn's game winning 49-yard field goal to send Los Angeles to the AFC Championship game following their 20-18 win over New England on Saturday.

Herbert had a 55-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams on a busted coverage in the second quarter but outside of that, both defenses dominate the first three quarters with just thirteen points being scored as the Chargers held a 7-6 lead before Justin Kelley was able to break through New England's defense for a 32-yard run.

After Mac Jones and New England once again failed to cross the Los Angeles 45-yard line, they were forced to put, allowing the Chargers to extend their lead to eleven points following Fairbairn's 24-yard field goal with 4:27 left.

Jones and Co. didn't waste any more time, connecting with Nelson Agholor on a 44-yard touchdown pass that brought life back into a sold out Gillette Stadium.

New England was quick to use their timeouts on the ensuing possession, forcing a 3rd and 2 with 2:45 left in the game. The Chargers opted the safe option of keeping it on the ground, only for New England to force a fumble that was recovered by Dont'a Hightower on the Chargers' 30-yard line with 2:40 left in the game and New England needing a touchdown to go up.

On 3rd and 7, they got it as Jones found a streaking Jonnu Smith going across the field for a 13-yard touchdown. For the second time, however, they missed the two point conversion, keeping it a one-point game.

After a Herbert scramble and a Larry Rountree reception, Los Angeles gained just eleven yards but were down to just 38 seconds left in the game. Herbert threw it deep where J.C. Jackson batted down the pass only for a late flag to come on, awarding the Chargers 26-yard of penalty for defensive pass interference. Three plays later, the Chargers were in the Super Bowl.
