Jim Harbaugh dismissed Quentin Lake's "throwing deli meat" comment about Justin Herbert after the Los Angeles Rams secured a 24-9 victory over the Chargers. The Rams safety couldn't hold back laughter on the St. Brown Podcast, joking that Herbert was "throwing deli meat" and saw "ghosts." Harbaugh countered with "It's not what I see" and stated he thought the quarterback "did his job exceptionally well" despite two interceptions. Herbert, a Pro Bowler and former Rookie of the Year, leads the NFL in interceptions with 10 in seven games and a QBR of 32.6, though his team sits 0-7 this season.

The Rams improved to 4-4 with this win. Offensive coordinator Mike Mc Daniel, who replaced the Miami Dolphins staff, continues to face scrutiny as the Chargers struggle at the bottom of the league, averaging 14.1 points per game.
