Are Justin and Patrick Herbert brothers? The Oregon and Chargers connection explained
In a thrilling matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Patrick Herbert prepares for his NFL debut, teaming up with his brother Justin Herbert. The duo, who played together at Oregon, never connected on any passes during their college years. After going undrafted in 2025, Patrick joined the Chargers' practice squad, and following tight end injuries, he's been promoted to the active roster.
Tom Brady has introduced a new term to football commentary, this time referring to an interception as a "meatball sub" during the Los Angeles Chargers' game against the Buffalo Bills. While the Chargers led 13-0 in the fourth quarter, Justin Herbert threw a crucial interception that led to the Bills scoring a touchdown and taking the lead.
The interception drew criticism from Brady, who pointed out the poor awareness and decision-making of the safety who caught the ball, comparing it to serving a "meatball sub." The term quickly gained traction, with Drake Maye also being accused of serving up meatball subs after throwing two interceptions. The term's origins can be traced back to a Reddit thread discussing its meaning, and it may have been derived from the baseball term "meatball," which refers to an easy-to-hit pitch.
