Still only in his second season, Justin Herbert is already among the best QBs in the NFL, and he’s totaling numbers better than some of the greats.
In his 20th start Sunday, Herbert passed for 398 yards with 4 TDs for a 122.0 rating, and also ran for a touchdown, in a 47-42 win over the Cleveland Browns. Down by 14 points in the third quarter, Herbert orchestrated five second-half touchdown drives, including the game-winning march that gave Los Angeles its winning points.
Herbert is 10-10 through his first 20 games as a starter, but consider:
NFL MOST 300yd PASSING GAMES – First 2 Seasons As A Pro

NFL MOST TD PASSES – First 20 Starts
