Justin Herbert says a fractured finger on his left hand has not affected his performance, but the Chargers' offense has flailed since that injury.
He was asked about losing to Kansas City, about the challenges Chicago brings and about his finger. To be exact, Justin Herbert was asked 14 questions about his finger Wednesday. The Chargers’ quarterback might not be broken, but the middle digit on his left hand is, and the dissection of all that the injury means to this offense and this franchise continues to be intense.
But three times over the last two games he had the opportunity to connect with Keenan Allen from a relatively clean pocket for significant plays and overthrew him. “I've missed them,” Herbert said. “That's what it is. It's nothing other than I missed them. I'd love to be perfect and would love to make every throw. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do that.” It’s difficult to gauge whether the broken finger has affected him.
