Patrick Mahomes believes he is destined for plenty more titanic battles against Justin Herbert after the two exciting quarterbacks delivered on the pre-match hype as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Chiefs defeated Herbert’s Chargers 27-24 on Thursday night after Mahomes rallied back from a 17-7 deficit. The thriller was a hotly-anticipated bout billed akin to two prizefighters contesting the world heavyweight title - and the reigning champion defended his title at Arrowhead Stadium.
Herbert finished with 334 yards and three touchdowns to one interception - a costly pick-six scored by seventh-round draft pick Jaylen Watson - while Mahomes was equally mesmerising as he put up 234 yards and a pair of scores. It offered a glimpse into the excellence of these two teams as both franchises harbour hopes of enduring a deep run in the postseason to secure a spot in Super Bowl LVII.
