The Los Angeles Chargers had a strong win against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thanksgiving weekend. The Raiders lost 31-14 and are now out of the running for the playoffs. But the big talk wasn't about the score. It was about the injury to Chargers' quarterback Justin Herbert. He broke a bone in his left hand during the game. He kept playing but had to have surgery a few days later. Now, people are wondering if Herbert will be ready for the next game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This uncertainty is making it hard for experts to rank the Chargers. Some rankings even dropped the Chargers a spot after the win. Others moved them up, but only a little. The main concern is Herbert's health and how it will affect the team's performance. The Chargers' running game has been a bright spot. Kimani Vidal has been doing well, but the team has had some injuries. The return of rookie running back Omarion Hampton could help a lot. If the Chargers can improve their running game, they might be in good shape against the Eagles, even with Herbert's injury.
