Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake sent a text message to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to apologize after Lake said Herbert "was throwing deli meat" during the teams' Week 8 matchup.
Lake's remark, made during or after the game, drew attention for its unusual phrasing. The defensive back subsequently reached out to Herbert directly to express regret for the comment.
Neither player nor team has released further public statements on the exchange.
