Jim Harbaugh and his Chargers defeated the Chiefs 27-21 in their season opener Friday night in Brazil.
The game marked the debut for rookie running back Omarion Hampton, whom the Chargers selected in the first round of April's draft with the No. 22 pick. He rushed for 48 yards on 15 carries and added two receptions for 13 yards in his first NFL game. The first-year back also made a rookie mistake toward the end of the first half, where he ran out of bounds on an eight-yard carry as the Chargers were trying to burn the clock before taking a field goal.
