Derwin James told Justin Herbert that he would make the big play in the game before he delivered game-clinching interception

The Chargers beat the Chiefs 16-13 on Sunday, eliminating whatever small percentage of playoff hopes they had remaining. Mahomes left the game in the fourth quarter with a left knee injury and was helped back to the locker room — right as backup Gardner Minshew threw an interception to seal the game and, in turn, their season.

In a big game, both the Chargers and Chiefs had plenty riding on a victory. After a frigid matchup, plenty of notes and takeaways can be immediately discussed.

Facing third-and-12 with three receivers to his left, Patrick Mahomes snapped it out of the shotgun. The Chargers’ front created instant pressure, and Mahomes looked only to his right, with Kareem Hunt breaking down the field on a wheel route well covered by linebacker Daiyan Henley.
