It wasn’t the best night for Justin Herbert and the Chargers (+4) in Kansas City.
After holding the Chiefs in check for much of the night in a tense Thursday Night Football affair, Kansas City would pull away for a 27-24 win thanks to timely 99-yard pick-six heroics from Jaylen Watson. And, of course, trademark greatness from Patrick Mahomes played a role, too.
But before the Chargers fell to their AFC West rival, Herbert was apparently very hurt during the fourth quarter. The injuries seemed to be so serious that Herbert was getting X-rays on his ribs in the post-game.
And yet, Herbert was able to throw a late touchdown for a backdoor Chargers cover anyway:

Talk about being clutch. Imagine having potentially seriously hurt ribs and throwing some late big-time strikes through the heart of a defense anyway. To his teammates, to bettors, Herbert’s a hero in more ways than one.
