On Thursday night, we'll see the fourth game of a burgeoning rivalry between two of the most talented young quarterbacks in football. Justin Herbert made an unexpected debut in Week 2 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs last season, taking over the Chargers' starting job with no advance notice after Tyrod Taylor's lung was punctured by the team doctor before the game. Herbert gave a good accounting of himself in a narrow 23-20 loss, but while the Chiefs swept the Chargers last season, Herbert & Co. roared back with a 30-24 victory in Week 3 this season.
