The Chargers were going to need Herculean efforts from their offense to stay competitive against the Chiefs without rookie wideout Ladd McConkey in the lineup.
While those efforts maybe weren’t quite of that size, they still got just enough from the guys who did suit up to make it a back-and-forth game until the very end.
Let’s go ahead and check out my winners and losers from Sunday night’s 19-16 loss to the Chiefs.
Winners
EDGE Khalil Mack
After an extended stretch of zero sacks, Mack started the party early against the Chiefs with a sack on Patrick Mahomes in the opening quarter.
