Texans at Chargers By the Numbers: Can Houston Keep Justin Herbert’s Interception Streak Alive?

The Houston Texans travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Week 9 following their bye week. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert currently leads the NFL with 10 interceptions and has thrown at least one interception in every game this season. The Chargers offense has also struggled recently, enduring a 27-drive touchdown drought and scoring a league-low nine total touchdowns in 2026.

Houston enters the matchup with defensive end Will Anderson Jr. tied for the league lead with 7.5 sacks. Additionally, Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October after converting five 50-plus-yard field goals, maintaining a perfect seven-for-seven road field goal record this season.
