What happened: Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake assessed Justin Herbert's performance following Sunday's 24-9 victory, stating the quarterback was "throwing deli meat" and "seeing ghosts." Lake intercepted Herbert during the contest to help secure the Rams' win. Herbert threw his tenth interception of the 2026 season during the matchup.

Why it matters: The turnover extended a difficult stretch for Herbert, who has thrown twice as many interceptions as touchdowns through seven games in 2026. For the Rams, Lake's secondary play continues to anchor defensive efforts alongside 56 tackles through eight games. The victory gave Los Angeles its second consecutive win during regular-season play.

By the numbers: Herbert has completed 131 of 212 passes for 1,398 yards with five touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2026 through seven games. Lake has recorded 56 tackles and three interceptions in 2026 through eight games.

What to watch: The Rams move forward with defensive preparations for their next regular-season contest. Herbert aims to reduce turnovers ahead of the NFL trade window closing on Nov. 10.
