Rookie Jaylen Watson, playing only because starting cornerback Trent McDuffie was placed on injured reserve this week, delivered the biggest play of the game so far in the fourth quarter. With the Chargers facing a first-and-goal from the 3, Watson intercepted a Justin Herbert pass and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown to put the Chiefs ahead 24-17.
