Former NFL star Robert Griffin III faced backlash for his post about Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert following the team’s playoff loss to the Houston Texans.

Herbert was praised on social media for his performance. He was 14 of 32 with 242 passing yards. He had one touchdown pass and four interceptions in the 32-12 loss.

Griffin added with his post on X.

“The national media does a better job of blaming Justin Herbert for his playoff performances like they do Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott,” he wrote.

Griffin’s comments were not well received as he was accused of turning criticism of Herbert into a conversation about race.

Lamar Jackson’s struggle to win big games has been documented. He led the Baltimore Ravens to the AFC Championship Game last season, but fell short against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson is 3-4 in seven playoff games. He has 1,499 passing yards, eight touchdowns and six picks.

Dak Prescott has been injured a few times in his career, dashing the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff hopes. He is 2-5 in seven playoff starts. He had 1,962 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and seven picks. The Cowboys haven’t made it to the conference title game since the 1995 season.
