Smith and Hunt lead Chiefs to 3-0 start

September 24, 2017 By Bill Pollock

The Kansas City defense picked off Phillip Rivers twice early in the first quarter and Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes in the first 9 1/2 minutes against what used to be his hometown team, Terrance Mitchell had two interceptions and rookie Kareem Hunt scored on a 69-yard run to seal the Kansas City Chiefs’ 24-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Rivers was intercepted by Mitchell on the game’s third play of the game and four plays later Smith hit Tyreek Hill on a 30-yard touchdown pass.  Then, Rivers moved the Chargers into Chiefs territory but was picked off by Marcus Peters. Again, four plays later, Smith threw a shovel pass to Albert Wilson for a 14-0 lead.

The Chiefs picked off Rivers a total of three times.  Two of the last three years he has led the NFL in interceptions.

Smith was 16-of-21 for 155 yards with two TDs on no interceptions.  Hunt ran for 172 yards on 17 carries.
