Justin Herbert Celebrates Chargers' Upset of Chiefs in Los Angeles With Madison Beer
Herbert threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns in São Paulo while teammate Teair Tart drew scrutiny for a postgame incident
Justin Herbert was photographed in Los Angeles with singer Madison Beer after leading the Los Angeles Chargers to a 27-21 upset of the Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo on Friday.
Herbert passed for 318 yards and three touchdowns in the international matchup, helping the Chargers hand last season's Super Bowl finalists an opening-week loss. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce scored a touchdown in the game; his recent engagement to Taylor Swift had drawn extra media attention to his appearance in Brazil.
After the game, Herbert returned to Los Angeles and visited celebrity hotspot Delilah with Beer. Photographs published Saturday show the pair together; Beer was wearing sunglasses and a crop top while Herbert appeared in a black T-shirt and jeans. The two were first photographed together in August and have been described in media reports as being in the early stages of a relationship.
The on-field contest drew additional attention after Chargers offensive lineman Teair Tart was involved in a postgame altercation with Kelce. Tart swung at Kelce and struck his helmet with an open palm, action that officials reviewed. Tart was not ejected from the game, and the episode generated a flurry of social-media responses afterwards.
The Chargers, who opened the season with the international victory, will travel to face the Las Vegas Raiders next weekend before returning home to host the Denver Broncos at SoFi Stadium. The Broncos game would mark the Chargers' first home contest of the regular season and a potential early opportunity for Beer to attend.
Chargers coach staff and team officials did not immediately provide extended comment on the off-field sightings. The NFL did not announce any additional discipline related to Tart's actions beyond the in-game handling. The outcome in São Paulo gives the Chargers an early divisional win and hands the Chiefs a setback as they begin their title-defense campaign.
Herbert, 27, has been a central figure for the Chargers since his 2020 draft selection and entered the season with expectations to lead the team into playoff contention. Kansas City, featuring multiple Pro Bowl talents on offense and defense, had been a preseason favorite in the AFC after reaching last season's Super Bowl.
Friday's international game, part of the NFL's expansion of regular-season contests overseas, provided an early test for both franchises in varied travel and climate conditions. The Chargers managed a winning road performance in front of a global audience, while the Chiefs now prepare to regroup for their next matchup.
