Back in July, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sparked social media with his comment in regards to Chargers QB Justin Herbert after a spectator in attendance at the golf tournament heckled to “watch out” for him.
Mahomes responded with a skewed phrase: “I’ll see it when I believe it.”
He cleared it up days after, saying he was only messing with the team’s fanbase and adding that he has actually has a ton of respect for Herbert.
It appeared that Mahomes’ remark was put to bed until one of Kansas City’s reporters brought it up at the team’s post-game press conference following Los Angeles’ 30-24 win.
The reporter asked: “The term, I’ll see it when I believe it, — what did you see from Justin Herbert today?”
“I guess I believe it. That’s all you can say,” Mahomes responded.
Herbert had a huge part in downing the Chiefs by throwing for 281 yards and four touchdowns on 26-of-38 passing with zero turnovers.
The rivalry between Herbert and Mahomes is going to be going on for a long time, and we can expect shootouts in nearly all of them, just like we witnessed today.
