Justin Herbert led the Los Angeles Chargers to a huge 23-17 win over the Miami Dolphins and was able to shut down all his critics. Many began doubting the Chargers' quarterback after a poor start to the season, but he was able to show everyone why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Herbert completely outplayed Tua Tagovailoa and it was the perfect response to Emmanuel Acho claiming that Tua is better than Herbert. Acho has called Herbert a social media quarterback multiple times, but he was proven wrong on Sunday Night Football.
Trending
Acho, a former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker, apologized to Herbert for his comments. Here's what Emmanuel Acho said on Speak about Herbert after his great performance against the Miami Dolphins:
"After Justin Herbert's performance yesterday, sorry is not enough. The first thing I will issue is an apology immediately. Justin Herbert, my bad this one's on me... Shame on me for doubting you last night in the present tense."
Acho added:
"I am sorry, Justin Herbert, Chargers fans, your boy Acho taking this L like a man standing in it. I'm sorry. I won't consider Sir Justin Herbert, a social media quarterback until earliest Week 18."
He continued:
"I will not refer to Justin Herbert as a social media quarterback again until Week 18 when you'll have the Denver Broncos and what could be a must-win game. Chargers fans, I'm sorry."
Not the best apology, but an apology nonetheless. When the Chargers play the Denver Broncos, they will no doubt be hoping to already be in a Wild Card spot. Such a divisional game is always huge, but the playoff implications will only ramp up the pressure on the young quarterback.
Herbert had a phenomenal game against the Dolphins as he completed 39/51 of his throws for 367 yards and a touchdown. Tua Tagovailoa, on the other hand, had one of his worst games of the season.
The Dolphins quarterback completed just 10/28 throws for 145 yards and a touchdown. With this win over the Dolphins, Herbert was able to shut down all the comparisons between him and Tua Tagovailoa.
Justin Herbert needs to take the Chargers to the playoffs
Following their win over the Miami Dolphins, the Los Angeles Chargers are 7-6 and are in the hunt for the playoffs. Herbert has been unable to make it to the playoffs in his first two seasons in the league, but he has a great opportunity this time around.
The Chargers have the Titans, Colts, Rams, and Broncos left on their schedule. Their season has been hindered due to injuries to key players, but Herbert needs to step up and win these games for the team.
If the Chargers once again fail to make it to the playoffs, we might see head coach Brandon Staley getting fired. We will see if they can make a run in the coming weeks. Up next for L.A. are the Tennessee Titans, who will travel to California for a hugely important matchup.
