Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is in the midst of the worst season of his NFL career. The Chargers are 0-7 to begin their 2026 campaign, and Herbert leads the NFL with 10 interceptions. Los Angeles' offense, led by new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, hasn't recorded a single touchdown since Week 5.
This coming Sunday, the Chargers will face off against the Houston Texans in a Week 9 matchup. When speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Texans pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. delivered some confusing praise for the struggling signal caller. "Herbert, man, he's playing out of his mind," Anderson said.
"They have a really great, solid O-line as well and some really great running backs. ... It's going to be a good challenge for us." Unlike Herbert, Anderson is actually playing out of his mind this season. Through the first seven games of his 2026 campaign, the First Team All-Pro defensive end leads the NFL with 7.5 sacks.
The 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year also has 33 tackles, 15 QB hits and 10 tackles for loss. Sunday's Texans-Chargers matchup will kick off at 4:05 p.m.
