Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake apologized to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert after criticizing his performance on a podcast, saying Herbert was "throwing deli meat out there" during a two-interception game. Lake sent a text message to Herbert, though he is unsure if Herbert read it. Herbert declined to comment on the remarks, stating the team is focused on their upcoming game against the Houston Texans. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh defended Herbert, saying he played exceptionally well aside from two throws he would like back. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel dismissed Lake's opinion. Herbert has thrown an interception in every start this season, leading the NFL with 10 interceptions and the lowest QBR among starters at 32.5. Despite the struggles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Chargers have no intention of trading Herbert, with the organization never discussing the idea. The Chargers, who have not scored a touchdown in their last nine quarters, host the 2-5 Texans on Sunday.
