The Los Angeles Chargers remain winless as they fell to 0-8 after losing to the Houston Texans on Sunday.
They are the only winless team left in the NFL.
It's been a rough season to say the least for the Chargers all around. But, of course, all fingers point at quarterback Justin Herbert when looking at what's not worked well for the team this season. He's thrown at least one interception every game this season, causing him to lead the NFL with 11 interceptions. He was also sacked eight times on Sunday, the most in a single game in his career.

Of course not all the blame can be put on Herbert, but it's hard not to notice how much he is struggling this season.
...
Former NFL quarterback Russell Wilson spoke on CBS about the Chargers on Sunday after the game and said the one thing everyone is thinking when they see Herbert but haven't said.
"There's absolutely no confidence in Justin Herbert right now in his own mind," Wilson said. There's no confidence in coach Mike McDaniel when he's talking to himself. You can see it that there's no confidence in this team. That's the problem."
How can you have confidence right now if you're Herbert? He's failing to lead his team to a single win this season, and he's putting up horrible stats in the meantime. The Chargers' problems don't just lie with Herbert, but something is not clicking for him and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel this season, that much is for certain.
Herbert ranks 21st in the league with 1,591 passing yards and 26th with six touchdown passes thrown. He's been sacked 31 times, which is the second-most in the NFL this season. His quarterback ranking is 31st in the league at 29.1, by far the lowest in his career.
