In his absence, rookie quarterback Justin Herbert made his NFL debut. The youngster put in a strong performance but could not prevent a loss as the Chiefs secured a 20-23 win in their first away game of the season.

Herbert went 22-off-33 and threw for 311 yards with one passing TD and one interception. Lynn was happy with Herbert’s display against a strong Chiefs defense on Sunday. However, he revealed that Tyrod Taylor is still his first-choice quarterback for the ongoing 2020 NFL season.
