I think it was just sore. I think having played on it, using it, and falling on it, too, I think that kind of helped and was some of the reason why it was sore,” Herbert said. “I think for the most part, it’s gotten a lot better. I feel like my grip strength has gotten better, and just being able to use it has gotten better, too.”</p><p>Herbert entered Week 15 having undergone hand surgery one week before the matchup against Philadelphia, and it’s safe to say he wasn’t his usual self. He completed 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, and also lost a fumble. The 46.2% completion percentage set a new career low for the 27-year-old, and the 139 yards through the air were also one of his six least productive outings.</p><p>Herbert was pressured on 68.3% of his dropbacks, the sixth-highest pressure rate in any game over the last 10 NFL seasons for quarterbacks with at least 20 dropbacks, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. He was also sacked seven times.</p><p>“I thought it was a really tough day for the offense, especially for me,” Herbert said of his performance in primetime. “I had two turnovers, and I missed a lot of throws and played uncharacteristically, and there’s a bunch of plays that I’d love to have back, a few balls that I missed outside.</p><p>“I think those are going to happen. It’s unfortunate that we didn’t play to the expectations that we hold for ourselves, but I thought we did a great job battling all four quarters and in overtime because it looked pretty grim there for a while.</p><p>“For us to keep battling and go get the special teams out on the field and get some points, it’s obviously not what we want, but to get the win and the defense the way they played, and special teams, it’s what was best for us,” Herbert went on to say.</p><p>With the pocket collapsing repeatedly, the Pro Bowl QB turned to his legs. He led the Chargers with 66 rushing yards on 10 carries, producing three first downs on scrambles, bringing his season total to 18. In overtime, he started the series with a 12-yard scramble that ended in a stiff-arm on Eagles safety Reed Blankenship, using his injured left hand.</p><p>Los Angeles head coach Jim Harbaugh called Herbert’s effort “the most competitive thing I’ve ever seen from a quarterback,” praising the way he battled through repeated hits while directing three late scoring drives, including the overtime march that led to Cameron Dicker’s 54-yard game-winning field goal.</p><p>On Wednesday, Herbert participated in practice in a limited capacity, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-ladd-mcconkey-justin-herbert-week-15-injury-report">joining Ladd McConkey (foot)</a> and Will Dissly (shoulder) in that category.</p><p>Six Chargers did not practice, including Derius Davis (ankle), Trey Pipkins III (ankle), Elijah Molden (hamstring), and Troy Dye (hip), along with veterans Keenan Allen and Khalil Mack on rest days.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/chargers-chiefs-bold-predictions-week-15-clash">The 9-4 Chargers will visit the 6-7 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday</a> with a chance to sweep the season series. Their playoff odds sit at 78%, with the potential to rise to 95% with a win at Arrowhead Stadium.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It could also explain his letdown individual performance versus the Eagles, as he only had a catch on five targets for a total of 12 receiving yards. So far in the 2025 NFL season, the former Georgia Bulldogs star wide receiver has 695 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 59 receptions.</p><p>Meanwhile, Herbert braved through a banged-up left hand versus the Eagles and finished with 139 passing yards and a touchdown with an interception on 12-of-26 pass completions. Herbert also took quite a beating in the backfield, with Philadelphia taking him to the ground with seven sacks, resulting in a loss of 33 yards for the Chargers.</p><p>Herbert had surgery on his left (non-throwing) hand days before the date with the Eagles and managed to play in Week 14 despite the short turnaround from the operation. Herbert enters Week 15 with a total of 2,981 passing yards and 22 touchdowns against 11 interceptions on a 65.6 percent completion rate so far in his sixth season in the league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This is not a primetime matchup, won’t have Tony Romo on the call, and could end a dynasty. Things have changed since the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-andy-reid-says-no-excuses-after-week-1-loss-chargers">Week 1 matchup in Brazil</a>, but there are still playoff implications in this game. Before the Chiefs and Chargers square off on Sunday, we have the bold predictions for the matchup.</p><p>The Chargers won the first matchup in Brazil back in September. That sent Kansas City to 0-1 on their way to an 0-2 start to the season. Despite their dynasty pieces staying healthy and Patrick Mahomes putting up some good numbers, Kansas City is on the brink of missing the playoffs. The Chiefs need to win this game, but that has been hard for them to do this year.</p><p>With the Chiefs and Chargers squaring up for their AFC West rivalry, we have the bold prediction ready.</p><h2><b>Rashee Rice bounces back with touchdown for Chiefs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Rashee-Rice-Travis-Kelce-leave-fans-stunned-with-key-drops-vs-Texans-v1.jpg"><figcaption>Amy Kontras-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-most-to-blame-for-critical-loss-to-texans-on-sunday-night-football">Chiefs had the Houston Texans on the ropes on Sunday Night Football</a> in Week 14. CJ Stroud could not move the offense, but Mahomes wasn’t lighting up the scoreboard either. With 10:22 to go, KC went for 4th and 1 on their own 31-yard line with the game tied at 10. The ball bounced off Rashee Rice’s hands, giving Houston an easy touchdown that just about ended the game. On Sunday, Rice will bounce back with a touchdown on Sunday.</p><p>Through the Chiefs’ early-season struggles, Rice was seen as the savior. He was suspended for the first six games of the season, but has put together a solid season since. His drops have become an issue, but he is still the top target for Mahomes. He has 46 catches for 520 yards on the season with six total touchdowns in just seven games.</p><p>The Chiefs need this win, and the pressure will be on the shoulders of Mahomes down the stretch. Rice is his top target and his security blanket, as Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce both have their struggles throughout the year. Something will go right for the Chiefs on Sunday, with a Rice touchdown.</p><h2><b>Omarion Hampton crushes it on the ground</b></h2><p>On Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chargers came flying out of the gates. Kimani Vidal and Omarion Hampton combined for most of the yardage, with Hampton picking up the receiving touchdown to start the game. The rest of the game was a disaster for LA’s offense, partially thanks to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-look-cast-justin-herbert-wearing-protect-left-hand-surgery">Justin Herbert’s broken left hand</a>. But on Sunday, Hampton will crush it for the entire game. The rookie will rack up 100 total yards and a touchdown.</p><p>Hampton had been out since Week 5 with an ankle injury before returning in Week 14. The Chargers made due without him, largely thanks to Vidal’s emergence. Hampton was drafted in the first round to be the bellcow, however, which he will be on Sunday.</p><p>Herbert’s injury was a big part of Monday’s win. There were turnovers all over the field, and the Eagles’ defense swarmed with the game on the line. The Chargers’ defense was the reason they won that game, but the offense will pull its weight against the Chiefs.</p><h2><b>The Chargers will put the Chiefs on the brink with a win</b></h2><p>Week 15 could be the end of the modern Chiefs dynasty as we know it. The Chargers will win the game on the road, sending Kansas City to 6-8 on the season. That would also give LA the tiebreaker in the Wild Card race and clinch their 10th win of the season.</p><p>According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Chiefs are 4.5-point favorites at home on Sunday. The Chargers’ offense was not great on Monday, which gives the books and the fans some wiggle room to pick Kansas City. But the rest of the recent history says that Kansas City will fall short in this matchup. Rice is +100 <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/football/nfl/los-angeles-chargers-@-kansas-city-chiefs-35021132" rel="noopener">to score a</a> touchdown, while Hampton is +155.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Neither can I. Each week in the NFL brings massive playoff implications and marquee matchups in a year where it seems like anybody can win any given game, and that was no different this week.</p><p>Most notably, the Texans put the Chiefs even further behind in the AFC playoff race on Sunday night with a 20-10 victory. The Chargers essentially sealed Kansas City’s fate with a win over the Eagles in overtime on Monday, meaning the NFL’s modern dynasty will very likely be watching the playoffs at home.</p><p>Elsewhere, the Rams and Seahawks continued to mow down opponents in the NFC, the Packers took back first place in the NFC North with a win over the Bears, the Colts lost the lead in the AFC South and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts/colts-news-daniel-jones-tore-achilles-in-loss-to-jaguars">quarterback Daniel Jones to an Achilles injury</a>.</p><p>Who made the list of winners and losers from one of the more eventful Sundays of the year?</p><h2><b>Winner: The Texans’ defense</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Houston-Texans-defensive-end-Will-Anderson-Jr.-51-and-Houston-Texans-safety-Jalen-Pitre-5-celebrate.jpg"><figcaption>© Denny Medley-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Houston Texans are arguably the hottest team in football right now after beating the Chiefs 20-10 on Sunday night in Kansas City to get to 8-5 on the season. Now, it appears very likely that the Texans will be in the playoffs, and they may have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-playoff-picture-kansas-city-odds-gutter-brutal-loss-texans">ended the Chiefs’ hopes of joining them</a> there with this win.</p><p>Houston’s defense has been the catalyst for this recent run, establishing itself as one of the best units in the NFL on either side of the ball. On Sunday, even Patrick Mahomes fell victim to DeMeco Ryans and company. The star Chiefs quarterback posted the worst EPA per dropback of his career at minus-0.54, the worst completion percentage of his career at 42.9% and the <a href="https://x.com/BenjaminSolak/status/1997888159997460982" rel="noopener">worst passer rating of his career</a> at 19.8, per ESPN’s Ben Solak.</p><p>The Texans make plays at all three levels, combining arguably the best pass-rushing duo in the league with an elite secondary that gets to the football on a frequent basis. In recent weeks, the Texans have shut down Mahomes, Josh Allen, and an explosive Colts team as a part of a five-game winning streak that doesn’t look like it’s coming to an end anytime soon.</p><h2><b>Loser: The Chiefs, and everyone who has to play the Texans’ defense</b></h2><p>On the other side of Sunday night’s result is the likely end of the Chiefs dynasty, or at least this iteration of it. Kansas City’s efficiency has been solid all season, but it has always felt like something was just a bit off.</p><p>That was never more true than in this game, when the Chiefs seemed to always have something go wrong on the offensive side. Fill-in left tackle <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-lose-another-o-lineman-to-season-ending-injury">Wanya Morris left with a season-ending injury</a> on the first play of the game, and Kansas City struggled with Houston’s pass rush all night. When it wasn’t the offensive line letting the Chiefs down, it was the receivers with a handful of back-breaking drops. When it wasn’t that, it was a bizarre fourth-down decision from Andy Reid that immediately took away all of Kansas City’s momentum and allowed Houston to get back in the lead.</p><p>Now, the Chiefs have very likely played with their food a bit too much this year and have just a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/nfl-playoff-picture/2025/" rel="noopener">12% chance to make the playoffs</a> according to The Athletic.</p><p>The Chiefs aren’t the first team to fall victim to the Texans defense, nor will they be the last. However, their failures throughout the season didn’t give them the margin for error that it needed to take on a very good team with a lot of momentum like this one, and that is what will cost them a chance at another AFC Championship.</p><h2><b>Winner: Everyone who watched Bears-Packers</b></h2><p>After years of having the Bears in the cellar of the NFC North, we finally got a late-season matchup between the two longtime rivals with real playoff implications on both sides. To put it simply, it was glorious.</p><p>Chicago and Green Bay repeatedly threw haymakers at each other all afternoon at a freezing-cold Lambeau Field, going back and forth in a second half that featured 30 minutes of high-quality football on both sides. On one side, Ben Johnson was scheming up a dominant run game and Caleb Williams was improvising in all the right moments. On the other, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/clutchpoints-week-15-nfl-mvp-power-rankings-josh-allen-jordan-love">Jordan Love firmly established himself in the MVP conversation</a> with a stellar performance of his own.</p><p>In the end, Green Bay got a 28-21 win and reclaimed first place in the NFC North after Williams was picked off in the end zone by Keisean Nixon in the final minute. But the real winner here was the fans, and we get to see it again in just two weeks’ time.</p><h2><b>Loser: The Colts, in all possible ways</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Daniel-Jones.jpg"><figcaption>Doug Engle/Florida Times-Union</figcaption></figure><p>The Colts were one of the surprises of this NFL season for the first half of the year, jumping out to a 7-1 start led by an explosive offense, a lethal run game, and a defense that did more than enough to get the job done on a weekly basis.</p><p>The Colts came into Week 14 having lost three of their last four games, as the shine had worn off on their new-look offense with Daniel Jones. Jonathan Taylor cooled off after his historic start to the season, but Indianapolis still had a chance to take control of the AFC South once again on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p><p>However, things didn’t last long even on Sunday morning. With the Colts trailing in the first half, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts/daniel-jones-injury-spells-doom-colts-sauce-gardner-gamble">Jones went down with a torn right Achilles</a> and will be out for the rest of the season and potentially into the 2026 campaign.</p><p>Indianapolis essentially went all-in on Jones when it traded two first-round picks to the New York Jets for star cornerback Sauce Gardner. Now, the Colts don’t have many avenues to acquire another starting quarterback, and Jones is a free agent this offseason. All signs point to him being back as the starter on a new deal when he is healthy, but what that deal looks like is just one of the many questions that this devastating injury brings to the table.</p><h2><b>Winner: Josh Allen dashing through the snow</b></h2><p>It seems like that once every year, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills get to play in a driving snowstorm on their home field.

In a game that the Eagles were favored to win in LA, the Bolts stormed back down three points late to force overtime, and ultimately win after Jalen Hurts committed his 5th turnover of the contest.</p><p>Justin <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/chargers-news-la-beat-eagles-despite-justin-herbert-being-in-absolute-hell-all-game">Herbert ended the game with two turnovers himself</a> while being sacked seven times, as both defenses showed up in a major way. However, Herbert was able to overcome his fractured left hand by stiff-arming defenders and leading the Bolts in rushing yards with 66.</p><p>Herbert just completed his <a href="https://x.com/espninsights/status/1998257079673635325?s=46" rel="noopener">19th come-from-behind victory</a> in the 4th quarter and overtime since his debut. Since 2020, the star quarterback has more comeback wins than anyone except for Patrick Mahomes, who has 20.</p><p>It is very interesting how NFL fans and the media don’t give Herbert enough credit for what he does. He is an extremely talented signal caller who plays with more heart than a majority of players in the league. He played one week after fracturing his hand, and about 95% of the league would not have even considered suiting up. The Chargers’ quarterback is a different breed.</p><p>The Chargers are now 9-4 on the season and still have a chance to win the AFC West division. The Bolts will need some help from other teams to potentially defeat the Denver Broncos before their highly anticipated Week 18 matchup. If the Chargers trail the Broncos by only one game ahead of Week 18, and LA were to win, then the Chargers would win the division and lock up a home-field playoff game.</p><p>LA will take on Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday for another massive AFC game. Both teams need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. If the Chiefs do lose, then their season will likely be over.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After a chaotic 22-19 overtime victory against the Eagles pushed the Chargers to 9-4 and solidified their playoff positioning, Harbaugh went over the top in his praise, joking that he’d put the win “in the discussion of the birth of my seven children — my marriage,” via Jeff Skversky. It was dramatic, sure, <a href="https://x.com/JClarkNBCS/status/1998261118205337707" rel="noopener">but given what his quarterback endured</a>, not totally off base.</p><p>As John Clark highlighted on X, “Justin Herbert was pressured on over 68% of his drop-backs, and the Chargers still won. It’s one of the highest pressure rates for any quarterback over the last 10 years for Next Gen Stats.”</p><p>Herbert played with a surgically repaired non-throwing hand and still spent most of the night dodging free rushers and absorbing punishment from an Eagles front that racked up seven sacks.</p><p>The stat line reflected the struggle: 12-of-26 passing for 139 yards, one touchdown and one interception, plus 66 rushing yards and a lost fumble on a strip sack. But when it mattered, he strung together a game-tying drive at the end of regulation and then marched LA into range for the go-ahead field goal in overtime.</p><p>The game itself was a mess on both sides. Los Angeles and Philadelphia combined for eight turnovers, including six in a wild second quarter that felt more like preseason chaos than a primetime showdown.</p><p>Jalen Hurts melted down even more than Herbert, tossing four interceptions and committing a bizarre two-turnover sequence on a single play. The Chargers didn’t exactly dominate, but they punished just enough of those mistakes to stay alive and steal the result late.</p><p>After the final interception sealed it, the emotional release was obvious. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-jim-harbaugh-every-la-fan-tarzan-scream-justin-herbert">Cameras caught Harbaugh storming toward Herbert</a> and letting out what can only be described as a Tarzan scream, a raw mix of relief and adrenaline directed right at his quarterback.</p><p>For a coach who lives on intensity and a passer who just survived one of the most miserable protection nights any QB has seen in a decade, it felt like the only fitting celebration. This wasn’t a statement win in style, but it was the kind of trench-fight victory that can harden a team’s belief heading into December.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tried as both teams might have to lose, one team was at least coming out with their head held high (unless they ended up with a tie, which, given how the game went, could have happened). In the end, it was the Justin Herbert-led Chargers that got the win in overtime, 22-19.</p><p>While the Eagles’ offense was doing its best to throw away the game, the<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-stat-highlight-justin-herbert-mnf-eagles-pass-rush"> Chargers’ O-line was also giving it their all to try and sell away</a> the contest. They could not hold back Philly’s pass rush, with Herbert getting sacked a grand total of seven times. That is not the kind of beating any O-line would want their quarterback to get.</p><p>But in the end, a win is a win, and the Chargers can hardly complain. In fact, managing to get the win under those suboptimal circumstances speaks volumes to the team’s resiliency, <a href="https://x.com/chargers/status/1998259034290573625?s=20" rel="noopener">which was embodied</a> by none other than Herbert.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">BREAKING: justin herbert's x-rays came back <a href="https://t.co/3ZCZDEWBrd">pic.twitter.com/3ZCZDEWBrd</a></p><p>— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) <a href="https://twitter.com/chargers/status/1998259034290573625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Surely the Chargers will want to take a legitimate look at Herbert’s X-rays after the game considering the pummeling he was on the receiving end of.

That win moved them to 9-4 on the season, which has them sitting in fifth place in the conference.</p><p>While LA is in an advantageous position, they are about to face a very desperate Kansas City Chiefs team on Sunday night. The Chiefs are 6-7 (no brainrot intended) on the season and may have to win out just to have a chance to make it to the postseason, so the Chargers have to be very careful.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
