The internet can be brutal, and sports personalities get a taste of it occasionally, even with the slightest mistake.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played through a hand injury against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, but that was not enough to inspire his team to a win as they lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 17-20, in a close game.
With the loss, the Chargers fell to 2-3 in the standings.
Despite making huge plays, a late-game error that cost his team the victory is what most fans remember.
Herbert helped tie the game mid-fourth quarter with a touchdown pass to Gerald Everett.

However, the Cowboys took back the lead with a field goal from placekicker Brandon Aubrey with 2:19 remaining in the clock.
The Chargers had the chance to take back the lead as the two-minute warning buzzed, but Stephon Gilmore intercepted Herbert's attempt to allow the Cowboys to get away with their fourth victory.
Internet reacts brutally
Naturally, social media had a feast on that botched play by Herbert.
