EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Justin Herbert gave the Los Angeles Chargers another opportunity to rave about their star quarterback when he played through a broken bone in his non-throwing hand in a 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

“When you think there’s not another rung that he could possibly go, he finds it,” coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday. “It’s impressive.”

Herbert’s willingness to play through adversity has been tested this season as he has taken the third-most sacks in the NFL (38). He was sacked a career-high 41 times all of last year.
