Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Los Angeles Chargers players to Worry About in Week 18

Justin Herbert, Quarterback

One cannot write a piece about Chargers to worry about and not mention second-year signal-caller Justin Herbert. The truth is, this kid is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and the fact that he is only in his second season is a very scary thought for fans of the Raiders, or really any team that plays in the AFC.

On Sunday night, the Raiders have to make stopping Herbert priority No. 1, and we have seen him struggle, especially two weeks ago against the Houston Texans. In fact, the Chargers have lost two of their last three road games against both Denver, and Houston, so hopefully, the third loss in his last four road starts is in the cards for Sunday night.

Herbert is having a special start to his NFL career and is already considered one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL after only two seasons in the league. For the Raiders to win on Sunday night, he needs to be stopped, so it will be interesting to see if this defense is up for the task of having another standout game in the biggest game of the season.
