The Chiefs and Chargers game took place in Week 2, which delivered up to the hype. Both sides gave a tough battle, but Kansas City had the last laugh. The Chiefs pulled a clean sweep after Travis Kelce made the game-winning touchdown. The youngbloods would clash again in Week 11, this time at the SoFi Stadium.
Justin Herbert responded to Patrick Mahomes’ comments. He mentioned, “I appreciate the kind words. I don’t think there’s a throw that he can’t make. I think he’s being humble there, and he’s obviously one of the best ever do it. We’ve got a ton of respect for him, but there’s not a throw on the field that he can’t make, so he’s able to do everything.”
