What happened: Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh dismissed outside criticism of Justin Herbert, responding to remarks from the Los Angeles Rams secondary that Herbert was "throwing deli meat." Harbaugh stated that everyone is entitled to their opinion but noted that is not what he sees on the field.

Why it matters: The Chargers dropped to 0-7 following a 24-9 loss to the Rams on Nov. 1, intensifying scrutiny around an offense struggling to generate explosive plays. While Harbaugh pressed Herbert earlier this season to clean up early decisions, the team has maintained confidence in its franchise quarterback ahead of the trade deadline.

What to watch: The Chargers prepare for their Week 10 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens as the Nov. 10 trade deadline approaches.
