Chargers Quarterback Justin Herbert brutally reacts to his team's 4th-down failures against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Entering the fourth period with a slim 14-13 lead, the Chiefs ended the game in overtime with a clutch performance, highlighted by Patrick Mahomes' game-winning find to Travis Kelce for a touchdown.

Herbert, a 23-year old star quarterback, seemed mature enough to admit a brutal mistake in converting their short attempts in going for it on fourth down as the Chargers ended up losing 28-34.

“To be able to have four downs in a drive I think is huge, especially as short as they have been. We need to convert those. We need to be better.”

A narrow loss like this can be devastating for a young quarterback and a competitive team, as the Chiefs fall to an 8-6 win-loss record— standing at second in the AFC West division. Meanwhile, Kansas City continues to perform well this year, improving to a 10-4 record.

However, for the Chargers to perform well against competitive teams such as the Chiefs, they must figure out how to suppress a player like Mahomes— especially in the clutch.

Regardless of the result, it is certain that this matchup was entertaining for both loyal fanbases—serving as one of the best games this season so far.
