The Chargers, led by the debut of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, took the reigning Super Bowl champions to overtime. Unfortunately, they were unable to come away with a win.
Let’s take a look at how social media reacted to Los Angeles’ 23-20 loss to Kansas City:

Chargers: We have the Chiefs on the ropes. They're not making this 58-yard FG

Harrison Butker just just used his mutant leg to kick the game-winning field goal for the third time tonight. He made it, from 58 yards out. Chiefs improve to 2-0, Chargers drop 1-1 but learn lots about their promising young QB.

Losing on TWO 58 yard field goals against the defending super bowl champion Chiefs in OT is a special way to lose. You just tip your hat to that…
Chin up, Chargers fans. We’ve got our QB. #BoltUp

I need to add this: Mistakes and all, the #Chargers prepared Justin Herbert far better than I think any of us would have thought. I am much more confident in their ability to develop a quarterback after what I saw today.
