Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert said he could tell from the noise his teammates made from neighboring meeting rooms on Saturday “that good things were happening.” Los Angeles needed the Steelers to lose to the Bengals that night to have a shot at the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs.

Herbert completed 77 of 105 passes (73.3%) for 911 yards with seven touchdowns and one interception in his last three games.

The Los Angeles Chargers secured the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs with a 34-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
