Even Tom Brady is using NFL<\/a> social media slang.<\/p>\n

This reference was used after Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> quarterback Justin Herbert threw a poorly timed pick vs. the Buffalo Bills<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

On a 3rd-and-5 from Buffalo’s 18-yard line with a 13-10 lead early in the fourth, Herbert forced a ball toward the end zone.<\/p>\n

Veteran defensive back CJ Gardner-Johnson read it for the pick and returned it well, setting the stage for Buffalo to go on and win 24-16.<\/p>\n

When analyzing the mistake on the FOX broadcast, Brady roasted the 28-year-old quarterback with a sandwich reference.<\/p>\n

“There’s a safety in the middle of the field,” Brady started. “Poor awareness, poor decision, throws him a meatball sub.”<\/p>\n

Labeling quarterback interceptions and poor throws as a type of sandwich is a growing trend on social media. <\/p>\n

If a quarterback’s throw is labeled as such, it’s never a good thing. And now even Brady is getting in on it.<\/p>\n

Herbert finished the game throwing for 226 yards, one touchdown and the aforementioned pick on 20 of 34 completions as Josh Allen overcame a tough start to secure the win.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles dropped to 0-3 despite positive expectations coming into the season. Its upcoming schedule — at Seattle, vs. Denver, at Kansas City, at LA Rams<\/a> — provides minimal optimism things will turn around.<\/p>\n
