Two games into the 2024 NFL season, it is remarkable how nearly identical the stats of Justin Herbert of the LA Chargers and Justin Fields of the Pittsburgh Steelers are. Each has started both games for their respective teams. Herbert has completed 67.4% of his passes and thrown for 274 yards. Fields has completed 69.8% and thrown for 273 yards. Fields has earned more yards on the ground than Herbert 84 vs. 24. Herbert has tossed 3 TDs to 1 for Fields but Fields has yet to throw a pick while Herbert has 1. As similar as all the stats are, the one each is most proud of is that each has led their squad to consecutive wins to start their respective seasons.
Sunday the two put their teams’ young but still perfect seasons on the line when Fields and the Steelers host Herbert and the Chargers.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) has a player prop he prefers from this matchup:
“I like Jaylen Warren OVER 28.5 Rushing Yards. His snap share went from 30% to 47% and his carries from 2 to 9. Jim Harbaugh’s defense has only faced guys like Chuba Hubbard and Zamir White. Give me all of Jalen Warren’s stock this week.“
