The Rose Bowl-bound Oregon Ducks have a big fan in Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Herbert has a chance to help his Chargers clinch a playoff berth in Week 17 when looking at the updated NFL playoff standings.

Justin Herbert passed for 284 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 19-yarder to Derius Davis early in the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Chargers got closer to wrapping up a playoff spot by rallying past the Denver Broncos 34-27 on Thursday night.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh says quarterback Justin Herbert's "incredible" effort was key in the team's Thursday night win over the Denver Broncos.

The Chargers believe that their comeback over Denver on Thursday night, aided by a confident QB and a uber-prepared coaching staff, is a sign of things to come.

Justin Herbert not only led the Los Angeles Chargers to a comeback against the Denver Broncos in their "Thursday Night Football" showdown, but he also made NFL history in the process.

On Thursday night in Los Angeles, the 26-year-old quarterback helped the Chargers mount an 11-point comeback, leading his offense to 21 straight points on the Broncos' defense in the second half. Herbert threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns in the win.

Offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Tuesday referred to Justin Herbert’s touchdown pass this past Thursday to wide receiver Derius Davis as a “zero gravity throw.” Photos and videos indicate Herbert did not have either foot on the ground when he rolled to his left and delivered a throw across his body to a streaking Davis in the end zone.
