In a thrilling AFC West showdown, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs got to 4-0 with a 17-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Mahomes finished 245 yards passing, including a long TD pass to rookie Xavier Worthy. Tight end Travis Kelce added a career milestone, setting a new franchise record for career receptions, while contributing seven catches for 89 yards. He had eight catches total in the previous three games. The Chiefs’ defense proved pivotal, holding off a determined Chargers offense that threatened late in the game.
Second-year wide receiver Rashee Rice sustained a potentially season-ending knee injury. He’ll have an MRI Monday to determine the severity of the injury he received when he was hit by Mahomes after a first-quarter interception. For now, the Chiefs continue their dominance in the AFC West rivalry, extending their streak to 11 consecutive road victories against divisional opponents and sixth straight win over the Chargers.
Up next, the Chiefs host New Orleans next Monday night.
