Former NFL star Robert Griffin III faced backlash for his post about Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert following the team’s playoff loss to the Los Angeles Texans. Houston.
Herbert was roasted on social media for his performance. He was 14 of 32 with 242 passing yards. He had a touchdown pass and four interceptions in the 32-12 loss.

Griffin added it with his post on X.
“The national media better hold Justin Herbert accountable for his playoff performance, like they do Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott,” he wrote.
Griffin’s remarks didn’t really resonate as he was accused of turning Herbert’s criticism into a conversation about race.

Lamar Jackson’s struggle to win big matches has been chronicled. He led the Baltimore Ravens to the AFC Championship Game last season, but failed to get past the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson is 3-4 in seven playoff appearances. He has 1,499 passing yards, eight touchdowns and six picks.
Dak Prescott has been injured several times during his career, which has derailed the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff hopes. He is 2-5 in seven playoff starts. He totaled 1,962 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and seven picks. The Cowboys have not appeared in the conference title game since the 1995 season.

Herbert was praised for having a bounce-back season under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh. But his lack of playoff success has been highlighted. He is 0-2 in two playoff appearances since entering the league in 2020.
