The Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 27-21 in a season-opening game played in Brazil. Justin Herbert led the Chargers with 318 passing yards and three touchdowns, while his late 19-yard run sealed the victory. Despite a late Chiefs surge, including a 49-yard pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling, the Chargers' strong offensive performance and Herbert's clutch plays secured the win. The game featured strong performances from both quarterbacks, with Patrick Mahomes throwing for 258 yards and a touchdown, but ultimately, the Chargers' defense held strong in the final moments.
