Herbert had another exceptional campaign in 2022. The Oregon Ducks product threw for 4,739 yards and 25 touchdowns, winning a career-best ten games.

Despite the success, the Chargers will be best remembered for imploding in the Wild Card Round. Up 27-0 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chargers were outscored 31-3 over the final 31 minutes of the game, dropping one of the more memorable playoff losses in recent history. 

At least the Chargers can look forward to having a fully rehabilitated quarterback under center for the start of next season.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs are the only teams left standing in the AFC playoff picture. There is no consensus in the betting market, with the Chiefs holding steady as -1.5 favorites for the championship game, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
