The fifth-year quarterback might have completed the most impressive pass of his career to lead the Chargers past the Broncos and closer to a postseason berth

Justin Herbert passed for 284 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 19-yarder to Derius Davis early in the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Chargers got closer to wrapping up a playoff spot by rallying past the Denver Broncos 34-27 on Thursday night.

The Chargers believe that their comeback over Denver on Thursday night, aided by a confident QB and a uber-prepared coaching staff, is a sign of things to come.

The Los Angeles Chargers all but guaranteed a playoff spot with Thursday night’s comeback win over the Denver Broncos to complete the season sweep of a bitter rival while moving to 9-6. That much fans know by now—but what’s interesting is Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers can kick back and relax this Sunday while possibly clinching a spot, too.

Watch highlights as the Los Angeles Chargers claim a 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos to close in on a spot in the NFL play-offs.

The Denver Broncos already played their Week 16 game and blew a golden opportunity to clinch a spot in the playoff field. After losing the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night, the Broncos will have over a week to prepare for their next game.
