Despite a poor playoff performance, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is sticking up for quarterback Justin Herbert. In a 32-12 loss to the Houston Texans in the AFC wild-card round, Herbert threw four interceptions and posted an awful 13 QBR. Harbaugh insists blame should fall on him instead of the star QB.

Harbaugh says Herbert’s pass to Ladd McConkey for a two-point conversion Sunday was a more difficult throw than Joe Montana’s legendary pass to Dwight Clark in the 1981 NFC title game.

To put it frankly, Los Angeles almost looked under-prepared for Houston in the wild-card matchup. Herbert finished the day with 242 passing yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions while throwing a 43.7% completion percentage. It was one of the worst playoff performances from a quarterback in the last decade.
