Chargers’ left tackle Joe Alt pitched a perfect game vs. Chiefs<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a><\/p>\n

Joe Alt was spotless, perfect, immaculate, impeccable, pick an adjective.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Chargers’ superstar left tackle – well, as much of a superstar as an offensive lineman can be – couldn’t be beaten by the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil.<\/p>\n

And because Alt was unbeatable, Justin Herbert had all the time in the world, and the Chargers had a Week 1 win.<\/p>\n

These were Alt’s stats, courtesy of analyst Ryan Fowler<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Alt played 43 snaps in pass protection and was never once bothered.<\/p>\n

It’s exactly the player the Chargers hoped they were getting in the 2024 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

They took Alt at No. 5 overall out of Notre Dame.<\/p>\n

He’s 6-foot-8 and 322 pounds of impressive ability.<\/p>\n

As a rookie, Alt played in 16 games, starting all 16 of them. He finished seventh in the voting for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n

At this rate, he’ll likely be a perennial Pro Bowler. Alt is special.<\/p>\n

And in the Southern Hemisphere on Friday night, Alt was perfect.<\/p>\n
