Social Media Buzz: Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers suffer heartbreaking playoff collapse

Justin Herbert and the Chargers blew a 27-point lead and lost to the Jaguars in the NFL playoffs. Social media was not kind to Brandon Staley and Herbert afterwards.

Poor Justin.

After finally making his first career playoff start with the Los Angeles Chargers, it looked like things couldn’t have been going better for Herbert in the first half, with Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence throwing four interceptions and the team also losing a fumble.

The Chargers were up 27-0 at one point and ended up losing the game, 31-30. Herbert is now going home, still with zero playoff wins on his resume, and Chargers’ head coach Brandon Staley is likely to get fired in the coming days, if not hours.

As you would expect, the epic collapse resulted in social media going crazy, and while Herbert was at the center of it, he actually got a lot of support online, with much of the hate going to his coaching staff.

Here are some of the best reactions from the night.
