Harbaugh is encouraged by both Hampton and Vidal playing well: “Yeah, I mean two great backs: Omarion and Kimani. I think that’s a good place for us to be. That bodes well for us.”
Chargers QB Justin Herbert underwent surgery on his fractured left hand in the week before their recent gam against the Eagles. Regarding his 12-yard run in overtime where he stiff-armed Eagles S Reed Blankenship with his surgically repaired hand, Herbert feels that was his best approach in the moment.
“In the moment I think that was the best thing that I could have done for the team,” he said, viaKris Rhim of ESPN. “There’s a world where it is effective, maybe I’m staying on my feet and getting more yards.”
Herbert feels he missed a lot of throws in Week 14, but is glad to see his team grind out a tough win.
“I missed a lot of throws and played uncharacteristically,” Herbert said. “There’s a bunch of plays that I’d love to have back. It’s unfortunate that we didn’t play to the expectations that we hold for ourselves, but I thought we did a great job battling all four quarters and in overtime because it looked pretty grim there for a while.”
