Los Angeles Chargers Quarterback Justin Herbert threw four interceptions in his team's 32-12 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday. Herbert threw just three interceptions during the regular season, joining Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as the only quarterbacks to throw three or fewer interceptions in a season.

It also dropped them to 0-2 in the playoffs. His only other playoff game was a historic collapse against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 wild card round.
Herbert was heavily criticized on social media during and after Saturday's game.

The NFL began awarding two points for an extra point returned to the end zone in 2015. Before that, a blocked extra point recovered by the defense was a dead ball.
It was the ninth extra point given back for a score since the rule change, according to Sportradar. It's happened once in the 2024 regular season when the Eagles did it against Tampa Bay on Sept. 29.

With this loss, the Chargers ended their season without a playoff win for the sixth straight season. They haven't won a playoff game since Philip Rivers' last run with the team in 2018, when they beat the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card game.
The Texans won a playoff berth for the second year in a row, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud and head coach DeMico Ryans.
