You can see why Jim Harbaugh was giddy after the Chargers beat the Bengals. He was literally jumping and screaming with joy after the game in the locker room.
There’s no making it out of the AFC without a superhuman at QB.
That’s what the Chargers have in Justin Herbert.
Now, was Joe Burrow the better quarterback in the matchup? Yes. But his team’s incompetence neutralized Burrow’s MVP-caliber efforts, while the Chargers did everything to set up Herbert for success. And that’s why L.A. is a legit contender in the AFC — because of Harbaugh and because of Herbert.

But it’s a whole heck of a lot better than Lamar, who is 1-5 against Mahomes overall.
It’s time, Josh. Forget about the MVP. Focus on the postseason. Get rid of that he hasn’t won a Super Bowl asterisk. There’s greatness in this team and in this quarterback. It’s time for them to realize it.
