Get ’em, Clay!
In Saturday’s AFC Wild Card game between the two, the Houston Texans absolutely smashed the Los Angeles Chargers, and one of the biggest reasons for that was the latter’s quarterback, Justin Herbert.
Only throwing three interceptions the entire regular season, Herbert threw a mammoth four in the postseason game against the Texans. And to make that statistic even worse, one of those picks came back for a Houston touchdown. The disastrous performance ended Los Angeles’ season.

Deservedly so, Herbert is getting hammered for his bad play, and though he’s been getting lit up like a Christmas tree, it’s apparently not meeting the standards of bust NFL quarterback turned corny commentator Robert Griffin III.
RGIII appears to believe Herbert won’t get the right amount of criticism because Herbert is … *drum roll* … white. Yes, you read that correctly — the former Baylor Bear implied that a white quarterback like Herbert won’t be getting the same backlash compared to black quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) and Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys) if they played at the same horrendous level.
The national media better hold Justin Herbert accountable for his playoff performances like they do to Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott.

What a moron.
And I’m not the only one who feels this way — so does OutKick founder Clay Travis, who labeled RGIII ‘s nonsensical race-baiting as “insufferable” — and that it is.
The race baiting here is insufferable. It’s 2025, bro. All of these guys, black and white, make $50 million a year to play quarterback. And when they lose they ALL get ripped to the high heavens. You’re just making up race narratives to divide sports fans here. https://t.co/YNJwDRmlVU

And to think RGIII used to be a likable guy … Now he’s nothing more than a blatant idiot.
