Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake did not mince words about Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert after his team’s dominant 24-9 win. Lake went straight for the jugular, ripping into Herbert’s performance with some absolutely brutal honesty on the St. Brown Podcast.
“Deli Meat” and Phantom Defenders?
Talk about a mic drop moment. Lake apparently saw Herbert “throwing deli meat out there,” which, let’s be real, is not exactly a compliment for an NFL arm. He didn’t stop there, either, adding that Herbert looked so unbelievably shaky in the pocket, it was like he was “seeing ghosts.”
Tough Day for QBs, Tough Day for Seattle
This kind of shade being thrown at a two-time Pro Bowler like Justin Herbert is wild. It’s a reminder that even the biggest names in the league can have a rough go, and it certainly wasn’t the only tough football news today. The Emerald City is reeling a bit itself, with our Seattle Seahawks dropping a 34-17 final to the Chicago Bears. Two very different stories, but both definitely have fans talking.
What a day for the NFL. Between Lake’s fiery take on Herbert and our own Seahawks taking a tough L, there’s a lot to chew on. We’ll be watching closely to see how Herbert responds to that kind of public call-out and, of course, how our Hawks bounce back from that 17-point deficit against the Bears. The season’s a long one, but days like this definitely sting and set the tone for what’s ahead.
