Jason Smith: "Justin Herbert had an awful game. You look at the clutch issues with him, and I see part of his fault, but I overall look at the Chargers at big moments and big situations, and I just don't know if they have the clutch gene. The biggest plays of the game, the Chargers find a way to fall short. I don't know that it's strictly a Herbert thing, it looks like it's a Charger thing. Chargers gonna Charger."
Mike Harmon: "You can't anticipate that you'll blow everyone out. In season, most of your work is done on fine tuning for situations like this. That has to be the point of emphasis, particularly for the Chargers. You've done this now for multiple years under Brandon Staley. This is not new territory where you're stressing in the final moments of the game, and the fundamentals suddenly go out the window. It happens too frequently to be an accident. You're giving another data point in the long Wikipedia page of inability to get things done in the final minutes of games."
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon react to the Chargers losing to the Cowboys on Monday night. The guys dive into Justin Herbert's poor performance, but explain why Herbert is far from the only guy lacking the "clutch gene," as the team collectively struggles late in games as is unfortunately tradition with the Chargers.
