Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had a disastrous playoff game, throwing four interceptions in a 32-12 loss to the Houston Texans. Herbert's performance marked a stark contrast to his regular season, where he threw just three interceptions. The Texans secured a playoff victory for the second consecutive year, while the Chargers' playoff drought continues. The game also featured a unique moment in NFL history when Houston's D'Angelo Ross returned a blocked extra point for two points.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw four interceptions in his team's 32-12 playoff loss to the Houston Texans Saturday. Herbert threw just three interceptions during the regular season, joining Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as the only quarterbacks to throw three or fewer in a season. But Herbert didn't resemble Brady or Rodgers at any point during his calamitous day Saturday.
The NFL began awarding two points for an extra point returned to the end zone in 2015. Before that, a blocked extra point recovered by the defense was a dead ball. It was the ninth extra point returned for a score since the rule change, according to Sportradar. It happened once in the 2024 regular season when the Eagles did it against Tampa Bay Sept. 29. With the loss, the Chargers end their season without a playoff win for the sixth straight season.
