Week 11 has everyone holding their breaths with lip-smacking matchups. But the hype is over the Chiefs-Chargers game when Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert meet on the turf. It is always a thrill to see two trailblazing QBs giving their all in the game. Ahead of their matchup, Mahomes had some positive words for Herbert. The Chargers QB1 responded with a textbook response.

The Chiefs and Chargers game took place in Week 2, which delivered up to the hype. Both sides gave a tough battle, but Kansas City had the last laugh. The Chiefs pulled a clean sweep after Travis Kelce made the game-winning touchdown. The youngbloods would clash again in Week 11, this time at the SoFi Stadium.

Justin Herbert responded to Patrick Mahomes’ comments. He mentioned, “I appreciate the kind words. I don’t think there’s a throw that he can’t make. I think he’s being humble there, and he’s obviously one of the best ever do it. We’ve got a ton of respect for him, but there’s not a throw on the field that he can’t make, so he’s able to do everything.”

During the Wednesday press conference, the media questioned Patrick Mahomes if he sees either of himself within Justin Herbert or if there are aspects of the Chargers QB1 he tries to imitate. He had some nice things to say about Herbert, starting with calling him an extraordinary talent.

The Chiefs and Chargers look in a dubious position. The injury report would suggest LA has some difficulties in its offensive stance. The Chiefs will not have JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman Jr in the game. It is yet to see how the game pans out.

Justin Herbert would have key WR back in action for Week 11

Los Angeles would host Kansas City on Sunday night’s AFC West showdown. The Chargers are coming off a loss, but they do not have their hopes down. Additionally, Justin Herbert has another reason to be happy. LA would have two of their prime offensive star back for the Chiefs-Chargers game in Week 11.
