The Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers faced each other on Sunday, and the result couldn't have been more surprising. The Chargers pulled an upset in the closing stages of the game, adding more spice to the growing rivalry between Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert.
The win had a special taste for Los Angeles, as the team was not only able to beat Mahomes but they also had confirmation that their quarterback could be as good as Patrick. Justin Herbert had another fantastic exhibition and his game-winning touchdown was proof of how mature he is to the pro level.
Fans went crazy on Twitter after the biggest win of Justin Herbert's career:
How good can the Chargers be in 2021?
The Chargers gave a fantastic display of power by beating the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. That was the biggest win of Justin Herbert's career. It is also important for playoff purposes, as Los Angeles remains a single game away from the division leaders Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos. Meanwhile the Chiefs have a negative record and sit at the bottom of the division.
It's a much more improved team from 2020, especially because the coaching staff does not find different ways to lose a game every weekend. If not for two silly penalties in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles would be another 3-0 team in the AFC West. They are still well positioned to play in January should they continue to improve their game.
It all depends on Justin Herbert. Can he take another step further and become an elite quarterback? The early signs are positive but he still needs to deliver on a consistent basis. Beating Mahomes is a fantastic start for Herbert.
For the Chiefs, there has to be some level of concern. Kansas City is expected to win a number of games this season and book a playoff berth. However, it doesn't seem like the pass protection has improved much from last year, and the defense is shaky. There are a lot of corrections needed if this team wants to reach the third consecutive Super Bowl.
