The Chargers quarterback is going through a great moment on offense and this can be seen in the positive results of the team. The quarterback's connection to Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen has been very important in winning games and continuing to fight for the division leadership with the Chiefs. Justin Helbert does not come out as a favorite to beat Mahomes, but this is for a minimal question, since in week 3 he took the victory of Kansas by a score of 30 to 24. Herbert's numbers are 3822 yards through the air, 30 passes from scoring and 11 intersections, numbers higher than those of Mahomes and with a victory behind the Chiefs, his team will seek to tie in the general table and, winning the series, they would occupy the direct place in the playoffs.
The Chiefs quarterback is going through a great moment in his career and arrives with 3,642 yards through the air, 27 touchdown passes and 12 intersections. The Kansas City team is doing very well in the league and, after losing the final last season, they make the Chiefs favorites to repeat their pass to the Superbowl. In the previous game against the Raiders, the quarterback generated 258 yards through the air and had to do with 35 of the 48 points of the game in just three quarters of games. Mahomes will look to beat the Chargers for the first time this season and get his team one foot in the next phase.
The Los Angeles team is second in their division with 8 wins and 5 losses and they come off winning against the New York Giants. The Chargers come from failing to make the postseason last year and together with Justin Herbert they are looking to advance to the next round this season. For this, Los Angeles will seek to stay with the series against Kansas City and fight for direct classification or position themselves very well for the Wild Card. A victory in this game would give them that possibility since in the remaining weeks they have relatively comfortable duels and two divisional games against the Broncos and Raiders to define that possibility.
The Kansas City team comes to this duel as the leader of the western division of the American Conference and with a victory away from its closest pursuer, the Chargers, that is why the victory in this duel can be essential to continue with the aspirations to get a direct postseason ticket and avoid the Wild Card. The Chiefs are going on a good streak with 6 consecutive victories, likewise, the team has a positive road record with 3-2. Kansas City will close the season with important duels, duels where the results will be very important, so this victory will be important to maintain the good rhythm.
The SoFi Stadium located in the city of Los Angeles will host this duel between two teams that fight for the leadership of the Western Division of the American Conference. This stadium has a capacity for 70,200 fans and was inaugurated in 2020.
