Justin Herbert has been under siege this season. Not from doubters who don't agree with Tom Brady that he is the best pure passer in the league, but from opposing pass rushers who have feasted on a depleted LA Chargers offensive line.
The Chargers lost star left tackle Rashawn Slater to a torn Achilles tendon before the season. Then, in Week 3, the Bolts lost fellow star tackle Joe Alt, who was filling in at left tackle for Slater, to a high-ankle sprain. New signing Mekhi Becton missed a game and some change due to a concussion, and starting center Bradley Bozeman has picked up right where he left off with undeniable struggles.
