"That is impressive": Julian Edelman lauds Madison Beer for helping Justin Herbert with recovery amid injured Chargers QB's playoff push

Justin Herbert led the LA Chargers to a 16-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15 on Sunday. Herbert went 19 of 29 for 210 yards with one touchdown and an interception to lead the Chargers to their 10th win of the season.

Herbert underwent surgery on his left, non-throwing hand after suffering an injury in Week 13, but did not miss any games. Former New England Patriots wideout Julian Edelman believes that Herbert's girlfriend, Madison Beer, has helped the Chargers QB with his recovery.

"You know what stat he (Justin Herbert) is putting up? Getting sacked five times a game the last four weeks," Edelman said on the "Games With Names" podcast on Monday (21:07). "I was so impressed when I saw him six nights out of surgery, put his hand under center and take a snap. "And I went on Fox kickoff, and I always talk about how I like big men at the quarterback. I always talk about Herbert, but big men can get hurt, too. I don't know what Madison Beer is doing over there to take care of him for recovery, but that is impressive to go out there and be able to play with a broken hand, stiff arm. Jokers, put your hand under, take a snap on your broken hand."
