Rams safety says Herbert was throwing deli meat in Chargers loss

Quentin Lake mocked the Chargers quarterback after the Rams held Los Angeles to just nine points.

The Rams rolled past the Chargers at home, limiting Justin Herbert and the offense to nine points, and safety Quentin Lake wasted no time rubbing it in.

"I mean, he was throwing deli meat out there. He's seeing ghosts, I'm not gonna lie. We knew we were gonna get a couple," Lake said on the St. Brown Podcast, as relayed by Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team.

Lake's comments came after he picked Herbert off during the win, part of a defensive effort that smothered an already struggling Chargers offense. It is the kind of line that will follow Herbert around until the next meeting between the two Los Angeles teams, fair or not.

The Rams now turn their attention to a road matchup with the Washington Commanders, riding momentum from a defense that looked every bit as sharp as Lake's trash talk suggested. The Chargers, meanwhile, head into their next game trying to shake off a lopsided loss and the viral clip that came with it.
