NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III sparked backlash for his comments about Los Angeles Chargers’ quarterback Justin Herbert following their playoff loss to the Houston Texans. Griffin stated that Herbert should be held accountable for his playoff performances, similar to Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott.
Herbert was criticized on social media for his 14-of-32 passing performance with one touchdown pass and four interceptions in the 32-12 loss. This comparison to other quarterbacks has raised concerns about Griffin’s comments being rooted in racism.
Herbert had a bounce-back season under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, but his lack of success in the postseason remains a concern. He is now 0-2 in two playoff appearances since entering the league in 2020.
In contrast, Lamar Jackson has struggled to win big games, with a record of 3-4 in seven playoff appearances. Dak Prescott has also faced setbacks, including multiple injuries that have derailed his team’s playoff hopes.
