This noise. This chill. This challenge.
That’s what the Chargers traveled roughly 1,500 miles to confront Thursday, fully aware that reality and the NFL gave them no other choice.
“Kansas City has made it known we have to go through them,” coach Anthony Lynn said this week, “if we're going to win this division.”
The Chargers went through the Chiefs, all right, finally breaking a nine-game losing streak to Kansas City with a stunning 29-28 victory at Arrowhead Stadium.
Down 14-0 early and 28-14 late, the Chargers rallied for a pair touchdowns and a two-point conversion in the final 3 minutes and 49 seconds.
