Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw four interceptions in the team’s 32-12 playoff loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday. This was the worst performance of his career, and he also dropped to 0-2 in the playoffs. Herbert had only three interceptions during the regular season, joining Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as the only quarterbacks to throw three or fewer in a season.
The game also featured a unique moment in NFL playoff history, as Houston’s D’Angelo Ross returned a blocked extra point for two points in the fourth quarter. This was the first such play in NFL postseason history, and it was the ninth extra point returned for a score since the NFL began awarding two points for an extra point returned to the end zone in 2015.
The Chargers’ loss marked the end of their season without a playoff win for the sixth straight year. The Texans, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud and head coach DeMeco Ryans, won their second straight playoff game.
