As many probably stood for the chargers and offensive manager Greg Roman to bring a heavy -headed approach under the first -time newcomer Omarion Hampton and free agent supplement Najee Harris, La took air. Herbert was impressive in playing all pre -hoped ideas and struck 9 of 11 attempts at 169 meters.
From the jump, Herbert and the chargers were clicking, where QB found Johnston in 33 yard benefits for the first time. A few plays later, he found Johnston back to 5 meters and the chargers had a lead that they would never relinquish against nine hours of the dominant AFC West Champ.
Los Angeles built a 10-0 lead, but Chiefs fought back and cut his deficit in 13-12 for Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker who needed extra points.
Herbert seized the opportunity and guide the chargers on 12 games, 74 yard March on The Erecing Drive, which peaked with 11 yard, for example, throwing to old friend Allen.
When Mahomes met with a 37 -meter score to Travis Kelce, Herbert answered back in Frida with another 74 meter score. This ended with Johnston scoring from 23 meters.
The score came with 5:02 to play and Chiefs made it immediately to a one -point game by Butker Field goal.
With 2:34 after Herbert closed it-not with his arm, but with his feet on the 19 meter scrap.
“I was trying to get the ball to Q and they ended up doubled it,” said Herbert. “I expected it to be the coverage of the man, so there was no one for me so just escaped in my pocket. I saw no one in front of me, so I just slid and got the first down.”
Technically, Friday’s trip to Brazil was a home game for the chargers.
Now they will have a great reason to celebrate the flight home, after starting their 2025 campaign with a striking victory where Herbert came up the clutch over and over.
