He finished the game completing 26 or 43 passes for 398 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Conversely, with 2:55 left in the game and the Browns facing a 3rd-down and 9 yards to go for a first-down, the team inexplicably ran the ball instead of having quarterback Baker Mayfield try to complete a pass.

The Chargers and head coach Brandon Staley trusted Herbert and justifiably so? Does your organization have an equal amount of trust in you?
