Los Angeles Chargers (1-1) – Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) : 20-23

It’s the surprise of the evening. When the Chargers returned to the field, it was not Tyrod Taylor who ran for quarterback, but rookie Justin Herbert (22/33, 311 yards, 1TD & 1 INT, 18 yards and 1 TD at the race), the former Oregon and 6th pick in the 2020 draft. And the young quarterback made a more than encouraging copy for his first game.

But opposite, there is a phenomenon called Patrick Mahomes (27/47, 302 yards, 2 TD). Struggling for most of the game, the MVP is a decisive player by nature, and he’s proven it again by taking his team into overtime, and pushing Kansas City forward enough to allow Harrison Butker to become the hero of this. match. Already author of a field goal of 58 yards during regulation time, he will again achieve this performance on the last action of the match, to give victory to his team.

Chargers start strong

Los Angeles immediately demonstrated that it did not come to make up, and from the first drive of the match the pair of runners Astin Ekeler (148 yards) / Joshua Kelley (113 yards) showed themselves under a very good day. The former UCLA particularly made speak his speed to put his team in position. And it is Herbert himself who will conclude the first drive with a touchdown (7-0).

Patrick Mahomes then tries to revive his team, but he will experience a difficult first half, and for good reason. He was completely abandoned by his line, which is not going to give him easy action. Special mention to Joey Bosa, excellent for upsetting his evening opponents.

Despite everything, the Chiefs will advance laboriously and get a reduction in the score on a touchdown from Travis Kelce (90 yards, 1 TD) (7-6). But the Chargers have heart, and a much different mentality with Herbert at the helm. The latter still moves the chains, and marks his first touchdown in his career pass to give his team the advantage at half-time. (14-6) 301 yards against 137, domination is total for the Chargers in this first act.

Herbert comes down to earth

While the second half begins with an exchange of field goal, it is Justin Herbert who will inadvertently revive the Chiefs. While he has the first down, he will try the big game and be intercepted by L’Jarius Sneed, who makes his second interception of his rookie season. Kansas City gets an unexpected chance to get back into the game.

And the sanction is immediate. Patrick Mahomes does what he can do best, revive his team with action from elsewhere, a bomb for Tyreek Hill (99 yards, 1 TD), and a two-point conversion to equalize in this match. (17-17) Kansas City proved it in the playoffs last year, we must not give this team the opportunity to come back.

But still (and always), these Chargers have a heart, and an enthusiasm in the game that had kinda faded in recent years. Carried by an excellent Hunter Henry (83 yards), Los Angeles again goes up the field to take a three-point lead. (20-17) Mahomes occasionally to finish the match, but his line lost precious yards with two holdings and Andy Reid ‘s team is “content” to send the match into overtime. (20-20)
