Justin Herbert's injury scare highlights Chargers' baffling incompetence

Justin Herbert has taken a historic level of punishment this season, yet the LA Chargers have gaslit fans at every turn, acting as if the offensive line is passable. It's never been good enough, and on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it may have finally come to a head.

Herbert took a menacing hit to the torso on a fourth-down snap that didn't even count because Trevor Penning was flagged for illegal formation. It was one of many devastating hits Herbert took in the first half, and was bad enough to knock him into the blue medical tent.
