The time has come. Kansas City is hoping to get its season off on the right foot with a home date against an AFC West rival in the Chargers. The main talking points leading into the game were Spencer Ware having to gain some yards on the ground, and the defense needing to shut down Philip Rivers.
If you root for the Chiefs, you think both of these things could and should happen. Rivers will be going against a very talented secondary with the quartet of Marcus Peters, Eric Berry, Phillip Gaines and Ron Parker. If Kansas City can get a pass rush, things should be alright.
