Overview
- The Rams beat the Chargers 24-9 in Week 8 on Nov. 1, and Quentin Lake returned an interception 45 yards as part of a game in which Los Angeles forced multiple Chargers turnovers.
- On the St. Brown Podcast this week, Lake said Herbert was “throwing deli meat” and “seeing ghosts” after the pick, adding a rare public taunt from an opposing player.
- Herbert has thrown 10 interceptions and five touchdown passes so far this season, the Chargers are 0-7, and the team has scored the fewest points in the NFL.
- Reporting points to 17 total turnovers, struggles adapting to new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, and injuries to the supporting cast as key reasons for the offensive collapse.
- The public criticism raises pressure on coaching and roster decisions ahead of the trade deadline and sets up a key chance for the Chargers to respond when they host the Houston Texans next Sunday.
