RAGE BAIT ALERT! Justin Herbert of the Philadelphia Eagles, and not of the Los Angeles Chargers, is an NFL career passing yards leader
(Image via Getty Images: Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert) The world of cyberspace is plain, simple, and boring without rage bait, we can all agree. Especially, the ones that say something but mean something else. Likewise was noticed in one of the recent tweets of MLFootball. So, the official X account of MLFootball wrote, '27-year-old Justin Herbert would be the Philadelphia #Eagles all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns throughly 7 seasons — despite Justin only playing in 5. 😱😱😱Herbert would have already been the greatest quarterback in Philly team history.' When it clearly meant - 'Los Angeles Chargers' instead of Philadelphia Eagles, and J-H(Justin Herbert) of Los Angeles Chargers instead of J-H(Jalen Hurts) of Philadelphia Eagles! Both of them belong to the 2020 NFL Draft. The Los Angeles Chargers picked Herbert, and the Philadelphia Eagles picked Hurts. Anyway, MLFootball's word play is interesting, so is the rage bait, but Justin Herbert's stats? They are truly insane. Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert surpasses Hall of Famer Peyton Manning for the most career passing yards in the first five seasons In December 2024, Omar Navarro of the NFL Network reported that Justin Herbert surpassed 20,619 career passing yards, which passed Hall of Famer Peyton Manning for the most in NFL history through the first five seasons. The NFL legend had secured 20,618 career passing yards in his first five seasons. That is not all! That one mark separated these two history creators elsewhere, too. Hear us out. In the first five seasons, Peyton Manning threw 138 touchdowns. And, the Chargers quarterback? He threw 137 touchdowns! No wonder it was an insane stat! Now, let's check out some fan reactions. Fans react to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert's insane stat record On July 9, when MLFootball shared a rage-baiting stat record of Justin Herbert, netizens reacted immediately. From one fan wondering, 'Why are we doing this?' to another calling it, 'This is dumb.' A third netizen mentioned Philadelphia Eagles' star quarterback Jalen Hurts, 'Would have won a Super Bowl like hurts though. Hurts is a winner and gets the job done ✅' Majority of the fans added another stat to the insane record of Chargers quarterback - that he had never won a Super Bowl - '0 Super Bowl wins,' 'How many super bowls has he been to and won? Oh that's right. ..0,' 'Passings yards and TDs don't dictate 'best franchise QB' LOL, Super Bowls do. So….. yeah,' and 'All that to not make the playoffs.'

Peyton Manning Fan Goes Viral For Perfect Imitation of Ex-Colt, Bronco's Throwing Motion
Peyton Manning Fan Goes Viral For Perfect Imitation of Ex-Colt, Bronco's Throwing Motion originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2000s and 2010s brought with them some of the best quarterback play in the history of the NFL, and few if any players revolutionized the position more than former Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning Advertisement Manning was known as a five-star general on the field, directing traffic, calling audibles at the line of scrimmage and generally confusing opposing defenses en route to one of the most productive careers in NFL history. On Sunday, a Peyton Manning superfan went viral for his performance during an impersonation video as he perfectly nailed the NFL legend's unforgettable mannerisms.

"Perfect imitation." Manning appeared in four Super Bowls over the course of his career, winning one with the Colts and one with the Broncos. Advertisement He was a Heisman Trophy finalist with the Tennessee Volunteers in 1997, losing to two-way defensive back/receiver Charles Woodson of Michigan. He was chosen number one overall in the 1998 NFL draft by the Colts, overcoming early struggles with interceptions to rattle off one of the most impressive careers for a quarterback in NFL history with 71,940 passing yards, 539 touchdowns, and 251 interceptions. Manning's final season with the Broncos was a less-than-impressive one as he played in 10 games, compiling 2,249 yards while throwing for nine touchdowns against 17 interceptions. Manning is known for his field general style and vocal leadership skills at the line of scrimmage, as well as his sideline dust-ups with players including former Colts center Jeff Saturday, a symbol of his take-charge leadership style.

From sleeping in a car to NFL stardom: Josh Jacobs' powerful story will break your heart and inspire you
Before he was stiff-arming defenders and breaking records, Josh Jacobs was just a kid living out of a car in Tulsa, Oklahoma. No spotlight. No cleats. Just a backseat, a protective dad, and a dream that didn't seem real yet here he is. The Packers running back opened up again about his upbringing, and it's the kind of story that hits different when you realize how far he's come. It's not just inspiring, it's gut-wrenching, raw, and real. Josh Jacobs and his family lived in motels and cars but he never let it break him — _MLFootball (@_MLFootball) Josh was in middle school when his family's living situation collapsed. With his dad and siblings, he bounced between motels and nights parked in a Chevy Suburban, where his father would stay up to protect them. 'I normalized a lot of things growing up,' Jacobs said. 'Like I never thought, damn, I'm sleeping in a car.' He didn't complain. He didn't crack. He just played football, got better, and stayed ready. When Jacobs was drafted in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Raiders, his first big move wasn't flashy jewelry or a luxury car. It was buying his dad a house. That full-circle moment made headlines everywhere. And if you've ever seen the footage, his dad breaking down in tears, it'll stay with you. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like (46만원 지원할인) 모발이식 500모 49.5만원 지원할인 모발이식 더 알아보기 Undo 'That's what made it real for me,' Jacobs said. 'Knowing I could take care of the man who never stopped taking care of me.' From Super Bowl ads to real-life change, Josh is using his platform to speak for others Jacobs didn't just stop at personal wins, he told his story on a Kia Super Bowl ad, highlighting youth homelessness and partnering with programs to raise awareness. Every yard he gained during Super Bowl LIV meant real money donated to kids going through what he once lived. It's the kind of advocacy that makes you see athletes as more than just players. This isn't just a rags-to-riches tale, it's about perseverance, perspective, and the power of staying grounded. Josh Jacobs could've folded under pressure. Instead, he turned his past into purpose. And now? He's not just running toward touchdowns, he's running for every kid still trying to make it out of that backseat.

Ex-Steelers WR Antonio Brown on attempted murder charge, shooting claims: 'All made up'
Ex-Steelers WR Antonio Brown on attempted murder charge, shooting claims: 'All made up' Antonio Brown is continuing to claim his innocence while facing an attempted murder charge stemming from a situation at Adin Ross' celebrity boxing event. On Tuesday, MLFootball claimed Brown had issued a statement that read: "No video ab shooting… all made up.' Brown had previously issued statements to MLFootball on football-related topics, such as Aaron Rodgers recruiting him to Pittsburgh, but this is a far more serious situation altogether. On June 12, The Washington Post reported that Brown was facing the charge for an altercation that turned violent. David Ovalle of the Post summarized from a reviewed warrant that footage appeared to show Brown punching a man, as well as allegedly taking a firearm from a "security officer." Ovalle also revealed that the warrant said cellphone video showed two shots being fired as Brown approached the man. Brown made headlines for posting a video of himself riding a bike the Middle East after news broke of the attempted murder charge — and it remains to be seen where this legal situation will lead next.
