Patriots lay out Justin Herbert to force fourth quarter fumble

The New England Patriots watched Drake Maye endured a brutal first half. But they delivered brutality on Justin Herbert during the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Head coach Mike Vrabel schemed up a linebacker/defensive lineman twist on Herbert. New England laid out the All-Pro QB to force this massive fumble.

K’Lavon Chiasson placed Herbert in duress. Elijah Ponder finished the rest.

Herbert and the Chargers, miraculously, kept the football. But the hit added to a punishing evening for Herbert.

This story will be updated.
