Chargers vs. Chiefs score, live updates: Kansas City looks to clinch the AFC West against their division rivals from Los Angeles

Must read

How many streaks can the Kansas City Chiefs possibly be on at once? Two straight Super Bowls. Six straight AFC Championship games. Eight straight division titles. Nine straight playoff appearances. Fourteen straight wins in one-score games. What more can you say about the club that’s become the league’s premier franchise this decade? Well, this year, you can say that it’s at least as good to be lucky as it is to be good. A bungled snap on a questionable play call is how the made it a ninth-straight 11-win season on Black Friday against the Raiders, and they’ll have another shot at teetering on the edge for a win with the Chargers in town for Sunday Night Football.

Los Angeles is firmly in the AFC wild-card hunt at 8-4 and nearly took down the Chiefs in a 17-1 loss in Week 4, in which the Chargers had jumped out to a 10-0 lead. The Chiefs defense put the clamps on after the fast start, holding the Chargers to just 224 yards of offense in that game to win despite two Kansas City turnovers. A win Sunday night for K.C. means a ninth consecutive division title, and the club’s streak of eight in a row is already second-best in NFL history behind the Patriots’ 11 straight from 2009-2019.

  • Justin Herbert misses on home-run ball to Joshua Palmer

    The Chargers had a golden opportunity to take the lead when Joshua Palmer broke free deep past the Kansas City secondary on second down. But Justin Herbert missed the mark with an overthrown ball on a would-be touchdown had Palmer been able to corral it.

    Instead, the Chargers punted after failing to convert on third down and are still seeking their first score. A tough miss for the Chargers in a game where points won’t come easy.

  • Chargers avert disaster on muffed punt

    The Chargers forced a punt, then nearly gave the ball right back on a muff. Derius Davis mishandled the punt that he intended to return, but was able to jump on the ball before Kansas City’s coverage team got downfield.

    Los Angeles will start its third possession from its own 17 looking for its first score of the game.

  • Chiefs take 3-0 lead into second quarter

    The Chargers moved the ball after being pinned at their 2-yard line. But the Chiefs forced a second Chargers punt in two possessions after a 53-yard drive. Kansas City has the ball back and will start the second quarter at second-and-4 at its own 12-yard line.

    Kansas City’s defense has carried it all season and is off to a strong start against the Chargers.

  • Chargers pressure forces Chiefs punt

    Chargers edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu got pressure on Patrick Mahomes on third-and-4 to force an incomplete pass. The Chiefs punt from their own 39 and pin the Chargers next to their own end zone at the 2-yard line.

  • Chargers punt on first drive

    Justin Herbert scrambled for seven yards on third-and-16 to advance the Chargers to Kansas City’s 39-yard line. But the Chargers opted against attempting a 57-yard field goal and punted the ball back to the Chiefs.

    Kansas City leads, 3-0 after one possession for each team.

  • Khalil Mack sack halts Chiefs’ opening drive

    Kansas City put together a nice first drive, but Khalil Mack put it to a swift end with a third-and-10 sack of Patrick Mahomes at the Chargers’ 29-yard line. The Chiefs settle for a field goal, and Matthew Wright is good from 47 yards for an early 3-0 Kansas City lead.

  • It’s almost time for kickoff. The Chargers won the kickoff and defered. Kansas City will have the ball first.

  • It’s brisk but not bitter in Kansas City. 50 degrees in the leadup to kickoff:

  • Chiefs inactives are in

    Recently acquired pass rusher Josh Uche is among the Chiefs’ inactives.

  • Chargers inactives include Ladd McConkey

    Chargers inactives against the Chiefs include rookie standout and leading receiver Ladd McConkey, who’s dealing with knee and shoulder injuries. He was listed as questionable on Friday, but won’t suit up for the AFC West clash.
