Why it matters: The Chargers lost 24-9 at the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 1 and have not won through seven games. Houston is coming off a 27-21 loss to the New York Giants on Oct. 25.

By the numbers: Herbert has completed 131 of 212 passes for 1,398 yards with 5 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2026 through 7 games.

What to watch: The NFL trade window closes Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, and the Chargers have kept Herbert off the table.
