Chiefs' second half comeback was spoiled by Justin Herbert's first down slide

Los Angeles- The Chiefs' season opener was spoiled by the Chargers 27-21.

Down by a touchdown, with under three minutes left in regulation Kansas City went down the length of the field to potentially get a game winning touchdown. On a wild fourth and long, Patrick Mahomes, did the unthinkable. He scrambled out of the pocket with two defenders closing in on him and threw a first down dart across his body to keep the drive going. If you are not familiar with the term Mahomes magic, that was the moment that people will be talking about. Despite the viral pitch and catch, LA held Kansas City to a field goal.

Down by six, all the Chiefs had to do was get a stop and force a miracle. Justin Herbert was like, not on my watch. On a third and short, he called his number and picked up the first down with his legs to pick up the fist. Mahomes finished 24 out of 39 for 258 yards and 1 touchdown, 1 rushing td with 57 yards on the ground. Herbert finished 25 out of 34 yards and 3 touchdowns
