Chargers Justin Herbert Sets Record
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert set a new single-season record for touchdown passes by a rookie on Sunday.
Herbert threw three touchdown passes in the Chargers’ 38-21 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, setting the new rookie record with a season total of 31. Herbert also ran for five touchdowns over the season, including one yesterday, giving him 36 total touchdowns, which is another rookie record.
Cam Newton Won't Return To Patriots
Quarterback Cam Newton isn’t expected to return with the New England Patriots next season, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday.
Newton signed a one-year deal with the Patriots in June after the departure of Tom Brady, but the team didn’t make the playoffs for the first time since the 2008-09 season. The Patriots ended the season Sunday at 7-9.
Jets Fire Head Coach
The New York Jets fired head coach Adam Gase Sunday night after two seasons in which the team had a combined 9-23 record. The announcement came a few hours after the Jets lost 28-14 to the New England Patriots to end the season at 2-14, the second-worst record in franchise history.
Browns Make Playoffs
The Cleveland Browns made it into the playoffs Sunday with a 24-22 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, ending the longest postseason drought in the NFL. The Browns last made the playoffs in 2002, a nearly two-decade span that included a winless 0-16 season in 2017.
