## Resource

The AFC West is heating up as a QB showdown, with Mahomes, Nix, and Herbert all in the mix — and the Chargers’ future hinges on protecting Herbert. Despite a brutal offensive line and 54 sacks in 2025, Herbert delivered 3,700+ yards, 26 TDs, and a career-best rushing total, proving his grit. But with 15 turnovers and a playoff exit marred by six sacks, the team’s protection woes are glaring. 2026 could be the year — with new OL talent, returning starters, and a focused rebuild — Herbert finally gets the shield he deserves to shine.
