The most recent NFL game on the books is the Los Angeles Chargers’ 27–21 triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil, late Friday night. Justin Patrick Herbert, quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers, passes three touchdown and sealed the win with a late scramble on third-and-14. L.A.’s win ended a seven-game losing streak against its AFC West rival. The NFL’s official game summary and the AP’s story say that Herbert had a great night in the league’s showcase from Brazil.
Herbert threw two touchdown passes to Quentin Johnston (5 and 23 yards) and one to Keenan Allen (11 yards). With 2:14 left, Herbert ran 19 yards to midfield to waste time and make Kansas City use its last timeout before Los Angeles knelt it out. The NFL gamebook has a list of the scramble and each score play. NFL
