The Los Angeles Chargers collapsed in the wild-card round playoff loss to the Houston Texans in quite a few ways. Justin Herbert struggled, at least in part because of the gutted roster on offense around him, while head coach Jim Harbaugh called out one particular problematic area .

The Texans heard how the Chargers' improvement in seed gave them an easier opponent in Houston, but the home team's defense shut down L.A.'s playoff hopes.

The Texans' defense got consistent pressure on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, forcing him to throw four interceptions, one more than he had thrown all season. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., who had been named an All-Pro on Friday, was responsible for two of those picks.
