Justin Herbert didn’t spare his helmet when he flipped out on the sideline during the Chargers’ 17-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
The Chargers quarterback was visibly frustrated during the third quarter and was seen smashing his helmet off of the bench at SoFi Stadium in a video on X.
A female staffer with blonde hair was seen looking on during his meltdown.
Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs was the Chargers’ second straight after a loss to the Steelers in Week 3.
The Chargers went scoreless in the second half against the Chiefs after Herbert connected with Ladd McConkey to take an early lead in the first quarter.
“Got to get Justin just a little bit more time. Some of the throws he made, some of the plays he made were incredible,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said. “Got to look at how we respond from here, and it’ll be like starting the season over again when we come back (from the bye week).”
He went 16-of-27 for 179 yards and a touchdown.
Herbert, who was sacked twice, entered the game as questionable due to a high ankle sprain he suffered in the Chargers’ 26-3 win over the Panthers in Week 2.
He re-aggravated the injury against the Steelers in Week 3.
Prior to Sunday’s loss, the 26-year-old Herbert has been solid through three games — completing 67.2 percent of his passes with 399 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.
The Chargers have a bye week before they face the Broncos in Denver on Oct. 13.
