The Chargers came out hot against the Chiefs, scoring 10 points and taking the ball away from the Chiefs twice to minimize their early momentum all within the first 12 minutes.

Who would have ever thought that the magic wouldn’t last.

  • Four plays, -12 yards
  • Four plays, three yards
  • Three plays, nine yards

That’s not ideal!
