Herbert Outduels Mahomes as Chargers Beat Chiefs 27-21 in São Paulo Opener

Kansas City faces a quick reset before a Super Bowl rematch with Philadelphia.

Overview

  • Justin Herbert threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns and sealed the game with a 19-yard scramble on third-and-14.
  • Patrick Mahomes went 24-of-39 for 258 yards with one touchdown, as Harrison Butker hit three field goals, including a 59-yarder at halftime.
  • The Chiefs’ slow start and 10 penalties undercut their comeback push after opening with three straight three-and-outs.
  • Kansas City lost receiver Xavier Worthy to a right shoulder injury after a collision with Travis Kelce, with an MRI planned, and played without Rashee Rice (start of six-game suspension) and rookie Jalen Royals (knee).
  • Los Angeles snapped a seven-game skid against Kansas City in a game played in Brazil and streamed free on YouTube, and next up the Chiefs host the Eagles on Sept. 14 while the Chargers visit the Raiders on Sept. 15.
