Justin Herbert’s calm response after Chargers loss sparks debate as NFL insider takes aim at Jim Harbaugh
Herbert Addresses Locker Room Atmosphere After Chargers Loss
Following the Chargers’ recent defeat, quarterback Justin Herbert responded to questions about the team’s emotional state. “No, I don’t think so,” he said when asked if there was anger in the locker room. He emphasized the professionalism of his teammates, stating, “There’s a group full of grown men that can handle their job, and they’re going to do everything they can to correct it and fix it. We’re going to stick together, and it’s tough. No one wants to lose two games, but there’s nothing we can do about it now.”
NFL insider Frascella shared his observations on Herbert’s demeanor in a post on X, expressing concern over the quarterback’s current mindset. He remarked, “Remember when this dude used to have AURA?? Man, Jim Harbaugh ruined this kid’s career Brandon Staley had him cocky & spinnin that da*n thing.”
Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers are already facing difficult questions after falling to 0-2 to start the 2026 NFL season. Their latest loss, a 26-14 defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders, brought more attention to Herbert’s form and the direction of Jim Harbaugh’s team. The latest defeat has put more attention on Harbaugh, who is now 0-2 to begin his third season as Chargers head coach. It is the first 0-2 start of Harbaugh’s coaching career in college or the NFL, according to the Los Angeles Times.
After the Raiders game, he said the team did not execute well enough and made it clear that there was work to do. After the Raiders loss, he said the team had the fight and competitiveness needed to improve, while also acknowledging that the Chargers have to find a way forward. After the game, Herbert kept his answer calm and focused on fixing the problems, but NFL insider Frank Frascella took a much harsher view of the quarterback’s current image. Herbert, meanwhile, has accepted some responsibility for the poor start. Harbaugh has continued to back his players despite the difficult opening.
