The Chargers lost to the Houston Texans 32-12 on Saturday at NRG Stadium. A dramatic turnaround engineered by coach Jim Harbaugh ended with a whimper in the wild-card round. Herbert threw four interceptions. He had never turned the ball over more than twice in any game in his professional career.

After Saturday's loss to the Houston Texans, the discourse machine around the Los Angeles Chargers fired up to an unprecedented degree. Of course, that's what usually happens when a team gets beaten as badly as the Chargers did on Saturday;

Eric Murray returned one of Justin Herbert’s career-high four interceptions for a touchdown, C.J. Stroud threw a TD pass and the Houston Texans rolled past the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in a wild-card playoff game.
