Ever since the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers all the way back in Week 1, the Chargers have been looking up at the Chiefs in the AFC West. Even after the Bolts peeled off nine wins in 10 games after starting 1-2, LA's success was overshadowed by the wins that the Chiefs kept piling up.
On Thursday night in Kansas City, many expected that the Chiefs would put the matter to rest. That Philip Rivers would continue to struggle at Arrowhead. That the Chargers would do what the Chargers have always done—come up short when the lights are the brightest.
