KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs clinched their ninth straight AFC West championship Sunday night, but none of the first eight were quite like this one.
The 12-1 Chiefs had yet another game come down to the finish, and, as always so far in this most unusual of seasons, they made the play to win it. Third-string kicker Matthew Wright, a replacement for two injured players, made a 31-yard field goal as time ran out to allow the Chiefs to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 19-17.
Afterward, the Chiefs wore their AFC West championship hats and T-shirts, as they always do after clinching the division.
