He completed 24 of 32 passes for 257 yards but threw two interceptions and failed to record a touchdown as the Chargers fell 24-9 to the Rams.The two interceptions were particularly costly, with both coming on throws that were intercepted by Rams defenders. Herbert’s performance continued what has been a rough 2026 campaign for the quarterback, who has struggled to find consistency in an offense that has been unable to get the Chargers into the win column.The Chargers entered the season with significant expectations after adding Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator, but the offense has instead become one of the team’s biggest problems. Herbert has received a significant portion of the criticism as Los Angeles searches for answers.Now, Herbert’s place atop the NFL’s loss list since 2020 adds another unwanted statistic to a season that has gone dramatically differently than the Chargers hoped.With seven losses already on the board this season, the Chargers will need a major turnaround to prevent Herbert’s unwanted milestone from becoming an even larger number over the remainder of the year.— Enjoy free coverage of the top news & trending stories with The Big Lead Newsletter —
