Playing pitch-and-catch against a four-man pass rush and cover men providing too much cushion, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert broke out of his mini-slump in last week’s win over Philadelphia.
Herbert had completion streaks of five, 11 and 13 passes while completing a career-best 84.2% of his attempts (32 of 38).
Excitement should have overwhelmed Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater as he reviewed the video earlier this week.
Bridgewater enters Sunday’s game against the Eagles third in the NFL with a 70.2 completion rate and Philadelphia’s defense is last in opponent’s completion percentage (75.5%).
“(Bridgewater) is a very accurate guy,” Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said.
