Justin Herbert in his first game with OC Mike McDaniel: 17-of-27, 209 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. He was under duress on a third of his dropbacks. And he was still heaving the ball downfield. His 11.0 passing aDOT is his highest mark since Week 11 of 2024.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Herbert's first McDaniel game showed duress and high aDOT despite modest stats.

Herbert's first game under OC Mike McDaniel was underwhelming: 17-of-27 completions, 209 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. He was under duress on a third of his dropbacks and still heaving the ball downfield with an 11.0 passing aDOT, his highest mark since Week 11 of 2024. The source expected McDaniel's arrival to simplify things for Herbert, but instead the team's response heading into Week 2 against the Bills, Seahawks, and Broncos will be the biggest storyline.
