For those who have been around Justin Herbert, his stellar outing in Week 1 was impressive but not new.

But for a handful of Herbert's new teammates, his primetime performance was quite eye opening.

Tyler Conklin is in his eighth season in the league but first with the Chargers. The tight end said Wednesday that he simply had to shake his head at times Friday night in Brazil.

"Justin is one hell of a football player. Just all around, everything he can do ... I can't say I ever played with someone that can just like control a game like that with his feet and with his arm," Conklin said.

He later added: "That's just not something that everybody has. He's probably one of the better, if not the best, football player I've had the ability to play with. I've played with some good ones but he's special."

Herbert didn't pick up any individual accolades after Week 1 despite the fact that he threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns.

He also didn't turn the ball over, posted a quarterback rating of 131.7 and added 32 rushing yards for good measure.

But the Chargers quarterback isn't fazed by a lack of hype. He's already turned the page to Week 2 against the Raiders.

"We went out there and executed and did what we wanted to," Herbert said. "Guys made plays and it was great to see."

Herbert, as he usually does, deflected credit Wednesday and instead put the praise on others within the organization.

That included Chargers Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman, who kept the Chiefs off balance in São Paulo but was also aggressive by throwing the ball early and often on early downs in the first half against the Chiefs.

Herbert said Roman's play calling helped the Bolts develop an aggressive mindset right away in Week 1.

"I think we're at our best when we do everything well," Herbert said. "That's run game, pass game, play action, quarterback runs.

"If we're able to do all that consistently as a balanced offense, those are some of are best games," Herbert added. "I think that started early and [Roman] did a really good job with it."

The Chargers Week 1 performance was different than a year ago when Herbert was getting back into the swing of things after missing an extended period of time in training camp with an injury.

But the offense was humming against the Chiefs, especially late as the Chargers had a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown drives to keep Kansas City at bay in crunch time.

Herbert again credited Roman for helping him deliver with the game on the line.

"Having a second year in the offense is only going to help us," Herbert said. "It's really understanding what Coach Roman wants when he calls a specific play.

"I think him and I have done a great job of communicating and talking through each play for exactly how he sees everything ran so that the end of the day we're on the same page," Herbert added. "Then we can run it exactly the way he wants it run because he's the one watching the tape and seeing how he wants certain defenses to be played. I thought he did a fantastic job but he's done that all the time and it's been great to work with him."

Overall, Herbert led the Chargers to a 394-yard performance against one of the league's best defenses.

It also added up to a 62.8 percent success rate against the Chiefs, which ranked first among all NFL quarterbacks, plus an EPA per play of 0.438, which ranked third among QBs in Week 1.

And a bunch of impressed new teammates in the Chargers locker room.

"As a competitor, you look in his eyes and just know, 'OK, we got this.' It's a very comforting thing because in that game the last thing you want to do is give the ball back to the Chiefs with two minutes left," Conklin said.

Omarion Hampton added: "Justin was amazing. A dog. It was crazy to see that in person and be able to watch him do what he does."
