The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Denver Broncos in a Thursday Night Football contest 34-27. After a stellar performance, former Oregon Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert is closing in on another NFL record held by Peyton Manning.

Justin Herbert passed for 284 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 19-yarder to Derius Davis early in the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Chargers got closer to wrapping up a playoff spot by rallying past the Denver Broncos 34-27 on Thursday night.

Offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Tuesday referred to Justin Herbert’s touchdown pass this past Thursday to wide receiver Derius Davis as a “zero gravity throw.” Photos and videos indicate Herbert did not have either foot on the ground when he rolled to his left and delivered a throw across his body to a streaking Davis in the end zone.

On Thursday night in Los Angeles, the 26-year-old quarterback helped the Chargers mount an 11-point comeback, leading his offense to 21 straight points on the Broncos' defense in the second half. Herbert threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
