Justin Herbert had a game to remember in the second playoff appearance of his career.
The Los Angeles Chargers were blown out by the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round.

The Chargers scored the first two scores of the game, but the Texans dominated them before eventually losing 32-12.
Most of that control came from Houston's stifling defense that made life hell for Herbert all night long.
Not only was this a memorable night for Herbert, it was perhaps the worst game of his career.
While he threw for 242 yards with a touchdown, he also threw four interceptions.
One of those interceptions was returned for a touchdown.
He was 14 for 32 on the night, throwing more incompletions than completions.
The night was so bad for Herbert that he actually threw more interceptions in the playoff game than he did all season.
Herbert threw just three picks in 17 games during the regular season.
Fans took notice and brutally roasted Herbert on social media.
“Justin Herbert is having the worst game of his life at the wrong time,” one fan said.
“If you hear one more thing about Justin Herbert. The guy sucks,” another fan said.
“Is Justin Herbert holding back this elite Chargers team?” said a third fan.
A fourth fan said: “There needs to be serious talks about Justin Herbert after this game.”
“Justin Herbert is in his 5th season with 0 playoff wins and no trophies LMAOOO,” said a fifth fan.
While Herbert had a tough night, on the other side of the ball, CJ Stroud had a solid performance.
