The Denver Broncos will close out their 2025 regular season on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, only the Chargers won't have a familiar face on the field.
Jim Harbaugh announced on Monday that starting quarterback Justin Herbert would not be the team's starting quarterback against Denver in Week 18 as both teams prepare for postseason action in January.
It's an interesting strategy by the Chargers, and a difficult dilemma: Play for as high of a seed as possible or make sure you get to the postseason with the healthiest version of Justin Herbert possible.
