Los Angeles Chargers are 3-1 for the first time since 2014 and have tied with the Broncos and Raiders in AFC West. With the Raiders’ and the Panthers’ loss in the fourth week, means Arizona Cardinals are the lone undefeated team in after four weeks.

Herbert’s spectacular first-half episode led the Chargers to a 21-0 lead over the Raiders. With his exquisite spells one after the other, looks like he is off to an MVP-winning run this season, and the Twitteratis have started to realize it now. As after his Week 4 appearance against the Raiders, he set Twitter on fire.

Furthermore, the Chargers’ first-year coach Brandon Staley was pleased with the offensive balance of the team and the mindset of the players to stick to the game plan throughout the match. “We stayed patient. I thought we had a good mix of the run and pass. Justin was extremely patient and Austin came alive tonight,” he said.

Can he continue his brilliant run?

With his win over the Raiders, Herbert has achieved a couple of milestones in his NFL career, as he completed 500 passes in just 19 starts, becoming the first quarterback to reach that in the era of the Super Bowl.

The NFL 2020 overall #6 Draft pick has also recorded 10 touchdowns in his first three prime-time games, tying with Patrick Mahomes and Dan Marino. His effective spells have been a crucial element for the Chargers’ victorious run at the start of the season. However, they fell short of just three points against the Cowboys in Week 2.

As the Chargers quarterback had a three TD game for the past two weeks, he seems to be in tremendous shape. If he continues to carry it on for the rest of the season, he might become the NFL MVP of the season or might lead his team to win the Super Bowl.
