Justin Herbert and his near-pinpoint accuracy guided the Los Angeles Chargers to a 23-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night.

Los Angeles moved to 7-6 and was certainly still in the hunt to catch the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West, though it seems unlikely. The Dolphins fell to 8-5, allowing the Buffalo Bills to get some breathing room in the race for the AFC West.

The story of the game was Herbet, who matched up against his 2020 NFL Draft classmate. And he was outstanding.

Herbert and the Chargers started the scoring in the second quarter with a Cameron Dicker 33-yard field goal. But on the Chargers’ second drive, Herbert found Mike Williams in the back of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown pass. Williams somehow kept his feet in bounds to secure the touchdown.

Before the quarter was over, Herbert led Los Angeles on a 13-play, 90-yard drive that ended with an Austin Ekeler touchdown to go up 17-7 at the half.

The offensive showing slowed just a bit in the third quarter as the team punted on their first two drives of the second half. The team didn’t score a touchdown rather opting for two Dicker field goals. The last one came with 2:40 left in the game and capped off a 17-play, 79-yard drive that lasted nearly 9 minutes.

Herbert finished the game 39-for-51 with 367 passing yards and a touchdown pass. Williams led the Chargers with six catches for 116 yards. Keenan Allen had 12 catches for 92 yards in the win.

Herbert, now with 13,056 passing yards, has the most passing yards in his first three seasons than any quarterback in NFL history.

Ekeler finished with 45 rushing yards.

Tua Tagovailoa struggled in the game despite the breaks Miami got during the game. He finished 10-of-28 passing with 145 yards and a touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill.

The wide receiver, who appeared to be injured during the game, finished with four catches for 81 yards and a touchdown. Hill also recovered a fumble and ran it 57 yards for a touchdown.

Jaylen Waddle had two catches for 31 yards and Cedrick Wilson had two catches for 19 yards.

Things are now a little bit tighter as the NFL season hits the home stretch. Both teams would be in the playoffs if the season ended Sunday night.

The Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls played each other Sunday night and had one of the wildest finishes of the 2022-2023 NBA regular season so far.

The game came down to the wire in overtime. With 0.5 seconds to go in overtime, Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan was fouled from beyond the three-point line and was awarded three free throws. He made all three shots to put the Bulls up, 122-121.

The Hawks called timeout and were able to move the ball up past half-court. As the two teams made substitutions, Hawks forward Jalen Johnson took the ball out and Atlanta set up their side out of bonds play still with 0.5 seconds left on the clock.

Johnson somehow got a lob up high enough for AJ Griffin to jump, catch and shoot the ball in the paint. Griffin had to turn around to catch the ball and, in the air, he shot it and made the basket.
