Justin Herbert starred for the Los Angeles Chargers as they beat the Kansas City Chiefs 27-21 in their NFL opener in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The quarterback passed for 318 yards and three touchdowns as the Chargers defeated last season’s beaten Super Bowl finalists.

“[It was] just another game for us,” Herbert said. “We came out here, executed, did what we needed to.”

In the second NFL game to be staged in Sao Paulo, Herbert found Quentin Johnston for a touchdown on the way to the Chargers going 10-0 up.

The Chiefs, with the help of a Patrick Mahomes touchdown, recovered to trail 13-12 before Harrison Butker missed the chance to level with an extra point attempt.

Herbert then threw to Keenan Allen for a touchdown as the Chargers took a 20-12 lead into the fourth quarter.

A Travis Kelce touchdown reduced the deficit but Herbert and Johnston again combined for another score as the Chargers recorded their first win against the Chiefs since September 2021.

“I think in general they came out with more energy than we did,” said Mahomes, who threw for 258 yards and a touchdown on top of his score.

“We didn’t execute. I missed some throws down the field and obviously we didn’t play good enough in the first half.”
