Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has been named the NFL Pepsi Rookie of the Week for Week 5.
This marks the third time in the past four weeks that Herbert has earned this award.
Herbert was given the weekly honor following his performance against the Saints, where he became the first rookie to pass for four touchdowns in a Monday night game.
In four games, Herbert has a 68.8% completion rate, a 107.1 passer rating and 1,195 passing yards, making him the second two player in modern NFL history with a 100-plus passer rating and 1,150-plus passing yards in their first four games. The other? Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes.
Herbert has accomplished this while playing with a below average offensive line and a skill player group that has been hit with injuries.
Coming off the bye week, he will have a good chance to pick up his first win against the Jaguars and Broncos.
