After the Chargers rallied for a 29-28 victory against the Chiefs on Thursday night, the Tom Petty song that played at quiet Arrowhead Stadium was as good of a thematic explainer as any to the result.
“I Won’t Back Down,” was the song.
The Chargers were behind for most of the game but managed to hang around, much like two games earlier when they rallied to beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh after trailing by 16 points at halftime.
Several playmakers stood out, notably Mike Williams, Travis Benjamin, Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates.
