Justin Herbert's performance in the NFL continues to impress since his debut in 2020. Against the Chicago Bears, Herbert's accuracy and the Chargers' well-designed passing game, coupled with an effective running back, exploited the Bears' ineffective pass rush. Herbert started strong with a perfect 11-for-11 with 2 touchdowns in the first quarter, including a touchdown pass to Simi Feheko, marking Feheko's first career touchdown. His completion probability based on the difficulty of those throws was a staggering 5.8%. Herbert completed 21 of 25 passes, with 3 touchdowns and 212 yards by halftime. The Chargers offense was nearly perfect, scoring on all their first-half drives, leading 24-7 at halftime. This marked the fourth time in Herbert's career that he had three passing touchdowns in the first half.
Third time since 2000 Chargers have scored on all their first half drives when getting at least four drives. Last time was 2007 vs. #Lions.

All Justin Herbert and the #Chargers after one quarter down on #SNF against the #Bears. https://t.co/CJUTA8C29O
So far, the Bears have given Tyson Bagent no chance - between penalties - and Justin Herbert beating to his own drum marching down the field. Could be a long night for Bears fans.
Justin Herbert is on a roll and finds Simi Feheko for his first career touchdown! https://t.co/xBuDlH4zCR
#Bears defense has yet to make Justin Herbert break a sweat. Nicely designed passing game, accurate QB with strong arm and RB effective out of the backfield...Tough for Bears to stop. It's 14-0, a less-than-ideal situation for Bears O-line and rookie QB.
The Bears' defense played at a high level the past three games despite not getting a ton from the pass rush. But that's not working against Justin Herbert. 0 QB hits, 0 TFL, and Herbert is 11-for-11 with 2 TDs. Chargers 14, Bears 0
Finger injury or not, Justin Herbert has some Jedi to him. https://t.co/HKRYOo5aFq
