A couple of emotional celebrations during and after Sunday night’s victory over the Dolphins showed a new side of the normally reserved quarterback.
COSTA MESA — Justin Herbert pierced the calm, cool and collected veil that always seemed to shield him no matter the down and distance, no matter the score, no matter the pressure from defenders eager to throw him off his game, no matter the many questions fired at him from reporters.
It was a rare show of emotion and celebration for Herbert, who often plays things so close to the vest that it’s difficult to know his true feelings. He is unfailingly polite and friendly with reporters, for instance, but only rarely reveals much about what he’s thinking about subjects great and small.“One of the main focuses I’ve had is to just have fun,” he said. “On that third-down conversion, that’s a big moment for us.
“It’s a long season and for us to be able to stay with it and stay focused and stay dialed in, it takes a lot of effort,” Herbert said. “For us to play together and be motivated, you have to have fun. I think that part of it is huge. To have the guys celebrate together … I think we’re at our best when we’re able to do that.”
