Before halftime, Jim Harbaugh's team secured a 13-6 lead over the Chiefs. Quarterback Justin Herbert put his team in the driver's seat after scoring a five-yard passing touchdown in the first quarter. Cameron Dicker added to this lead with a 39-yard field goal.

However, Harrison Butker gave the Chiefs a fighting chance with a 35-yard field goal to minimize the deficit to 10-3. Both placekickers scored two more field goals before, keeping the intensity of the game alive.

In the third quarter, Patrick Mahomes scored an 11-yard rushing touchdown to minimize the deficit to just one point (13-12). However, Herbert continued his offensive dominance and found Keenan Allen with an 11-yard passing touchdown, making it difficult for the Chiefs to make a comeback.

Mahomes gave his team another fighting chance after finding Travis Kelce with a 37-yard touchdown pass. Herbert then matched his efforts with a touchdown pass of his own. With just over two minutes remaining, Butker scored another field goal. But it was not enough for Andy Reid's team to secure the win in Brazil.

NFL analyst makes comparison between Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert during Chiefs vs. Chargers season opener

On social media, analyst John Frascella shared his thoughts on both Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert as quarterbacks in the league.

In a post on X/Twitter, he said the Chargers quarterback had better arm talent. However, it was Mahomes who has won three Super Bowls with his team.

"The NFL is so weird these days... It's like, ok, you watch Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes play and it's pretty clear that Herbert is the better quarterback... Better arm, better mechanics, better reads, better presence, better accuracy... but Mahomes has 3 Super Bowls and Herbert doesn't even have a playoff win... And Lamar Jackson is the best player and hasn't been to a Super Bowl, it's all just very strange."
