2) Justin Herbert–Los Angeles Chargers–In a game where the Los Angeles Chargers had to come back and beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 39-29, it was a marvelous performance from Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert. The man who has turned out to be Philip Rivers’ replacement in SoCal, completed 27 of 43 passes for 347 yards and three touchdowns, along with 66 yards rushing and another major score. The reason is why Herbert is ahead of Murray is because he did not throw an interception against the Jaguars, while Murray had one against the Seahawks.
