"the Kansas City Chiefs have beaten up on much of the NFL, and perhaps no team understands what that dominance has felt like more than the Chargers. The Chargers went into Friday night's game at Corinthians Arena in SÃO Paulo on a seven-game losing streak to Kansas City, and are 3-19 in their last 22 games against the Chiefs. It wasn't always a beatdown for the Chargers, and the games were often decided in the final minutes -- or seconds --"
"Quarterback Justin Herbert scrambled for 19 yards on 3rd and 14 in the fourth quarter to effectively end the football game and send his teammates into a celebrating frenzy. Herbert and the Chargers offense picked apart the Chiefs' defense all night with ease, and the Chargers defense slowed Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense just enough to edge out a 27-21 victory."
The Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 27-21 in São Paulo, snapping a seven-game losing streak and improving to 1-0. Justin Herbert passed for 318 yards, threw three touchdowns and scrambled 19 yards on a critical 3rd-and-14 late in the fourth quarter that sealed the win. The Chargers offense consistently attacked the Chiefs' defense, while the Chargers defense contained Patrick Mahomes enough to preserve the victory. The result reflected an improved wide receiving corps and growing confidence in offensive coordinator Greg Roman. The game signaled a potential shift in the recent competitive dynamic between the two teams.
