Dan Orlovsky faces backlash for defense of Justin Herbert on ESPN

ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky defended Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert on 'First Take' amid criticism from fans regarding Herbert's playoff performance. Despite being a two-time Pro Bowler, Herbert has not won a playoff game, standing at 0-3 in postseason contests. Orlovsky argued that Herbert receives undue criticism, stating he still got the team to the playoffs under challenging circumstances. The comments ignited debate among fans, with some arguing Herbert's lack of playoff success warrants scrutiny comparable to that faced by Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has won three playoff games. The controversy highlights the ongoing discussion about quarterback performance and expectations in the NFL.
