All anyone can speak about is Justin Herbert‘s controversy from week 15. It was a point at which the game turned around and moved into the Chargers‘ corner. One single error by the Broncos caused not just their lead to fail but also the entire team to crumble. However, there is never a disagreement without a twist. And the catch in this is that Herbert is not happy about the incident. Wait, what?

For those who missed it, Justin Herbert and Justin Strnad were involved in a pretty controversial moment. The LB blocked the QB’s slide, and a flag was thrown for the play. The game’s momentum turned at that point, and it went in the favor of the Chargers. Herbert and the boys went all in and the Broncos could not stop them. While it was a terrific moment for the QB in terms of momentum change, he is not pleased with what occurred.

A report claimed, “Chargers QB Justin Herbert says he felt horrible about his red zone interception and prides himself on not turning the ball over. Credits the defense for getting consistent stops afterward.” While the interception was terrible, it is natural for Herbert to be pleased with himself for keeping the ball. The impressive part is that Herbert held on to the ball as if it were glued to his hand.

But, in the end, the QB also gave credit to the most crucial part of an NFL team: the defense. Not only did the defense prevent a few touchdowns, but it also did not allow many penalties against the team. This is something Jim Harbaugh appreciated after the game.

Jim Harbaugh’s favorite rule came after Justin Herbert’s interception

Every team enjoys it when the opposition allows them to score a field goal. And it appears that Jim Harbaugh is no different. After the game, the Chargers head coach indicated that he thought Herbert’s interception was too good for them. And after that, the game started to get in their corner after Cameron Dicker made the field goal.

In his post-game media appearance, Harbaugh claimed that field goal is his “favorite rule in football.” Not only that, but the head coach believes that their team should score at least one field goal in each game. As it not only allows them to turn things around but also nearly guarantees them three points.

Jim Harbaugh also mentioned his stint with the 49ers while discussing the field goal rule. The HC stated how he was trying to make this rule completely advantageous to them. And this explains why the 49ers had a high field goal percentage. Harbaugh appears to be ensuring that the Chargers face a similar circumstance in which they can turn things around with a field goal. We all saw this only last week how Justin Herbert has the potential to turn things around if he gains some momentum.

So that concludes the Chargers’ head coach and quarterback’s comments on the situation. Tell us what you think of Harbaugh’s approach to field goals. Do you think we’ll see the same mindset from the Chargers in the playoffs?
