Chargers Lose Wild Card Game to Texans

Following the Los Angeles Chargers' disappointing playoff exit against the Houston Texans, head coach Jim Harbaugh has publicly defended quarterback Justin Herbert amidst criticism for his poor performance, which included four interceptions. Harbaugh labeled the blame directed at Herbert as 'completely unfair,' emphasizing that the coaching staff bears more responsibility for the loss. General manager Joe Hortiz echoed this sentiment, stating it is absurd to judge Herbert based on only two playoff games. Despite Herbert's struggles, he had a commendable regular season with 3,870 yards and 23 touchdowns, showcasing his potential as a key player for the team. Harbaugh remains optimistic about the future and is excited about continuing to work with Herbert. The Chargers will need to address various team issues this offseason, but the quarterback position is not one of them.
