Taylor Heinicke

Herbert was clearly hampered by his Week 14 thigh contusion and ankle sprain, logging zero carries for the first time this season. Herbert managed the Buccaneers' blitzed-powered pass rush effectively early on but the unit eventually got after him, sacking Herbert three times for 25 yards. The Chargers also lost LG Zion Johnson to a leg injury in-game. Herbert's interception came on a long pass attempt intended for Quentin Johnston, who fell down after the ball was thrown. Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean secured the pick, ending Herbert's 357-pass interception-free streak. He was one pass attempt away from tying Tom Brady for the fourth-best all-time streak. Taylor Heinicke replaced Herbert late in the fourth quarter. Herbert is a low-end QB1 against the similarly blitz-happy Broncos in Week 16.
