Story summary

Michael Irvin, an NFL legend, criticized Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers via Instagram after their recent loss to the Raiders at SoFi Stadium. The Chargers lost 26-14 in a game where Herbert struggled, throwing for only 401 yards and two touchdowns while committing three interceptions, fumbling three times, and taking six sacks over his last two home games against the Cardinals and Raiders. Irvin mocked Herbert's high-profile relationship with singer Madison Beer, suggesting that he is more focused on "driving her to the airport" than leading the team effectively. This critique comes amid a 0-2 start for the Chargers, adding pressure on Herbert and the coaching staff led by new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
