Report card: Chiefs unable to stop Philip Rivers when it mattered

The Chiefs saw what would have been their 12th win of the season, a third consecutive AFC West title and a first-round playoff bye slip through their fingers with a 29-28 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. In the process, the Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season at Arrowhead Stadium.

The recap

Player of the game: Damien Williams gained 123 yards of total offense in his first start with the Chiefs. He led the team with 74 receiving yards, and he also rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns.

Reason to hope: Damien Williams stepped in with almost no track record in this offense, and delivered big plays in the screen game and showed some quickness and elusiveness.
