The Chargers (2-1) and the Chiefs (3-0) are meeting inside SoFi Stadium for the first of their two divisional matchups this season. Justin Herbert will start after working through another week with his high ankle sprain. On the downside, the Chargers will be without their two starting offensive tackles in Rashawn Slater (pectoral) and Joe Alt (knee).
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs aren’t missing any key players but they’re far from the powerhouse we’ve all come to know in recent years. The defense, which carried them most of last season, is ranked 28th against the pass and 14th against the run.
