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

Griffin added to this in his post about X.
“The national media should hold Justin Herbert as accountable for his playoff performance as they do Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott,” he wrote.
Griffin's comments did not necessarily resonate, as he was accused of turning criticism of Herbert into a conversation about race.
