Justin Herbert is closing in on a career milestone few quarterbacks want but nearly all endure. The Los Angeles Chargers signal-caller has been sacked 199 times in his career \u2014 leaving him just one shy of 200. That total places Herbert third on the Chargers\u2019 all-time list for sacks taken in the Super Bowl era, trailing only franchise legends Philip Rivers (446) and Dan Fouts (319).<\/p>\n
This season, Herbert ranks third in the league in sacks absorbed, having gone down 28 times through nine games. In last week\u2019s 27\u201320 win over the Tennessee Titans, he was sacked six times but still guided Los Angeles to its second straight victory, showcasing his trademark toughness in the pocket.<\/p>\n
The 6\u20133 Chargers, currently second in the AFC West, will look to keep that momentum rolling when they host the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Herbert will try to stay upright \u2014 and avoid hitting the 200-sack mark \u2014 as he continues to lead one of the AFC\u2019s most potent passing attacks.<\/p>\n
