A lot of airtime, bandwidth and ink was used over the offseason explaining why some team not named the Kansas City Chiefs would win the AFC West.
The Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill, one of the best receivers in the NFL. The rest of the AFC West upgraded their rosters with huge, splashy moves.
Kansas City is 8-2, with a three-game lead and the tiebreaker over the 5-5 Chargers. The Chiefs would need to lose four times the rest of the season to give the Chargers any chance, and that's extremely unlikely. The Chargers needed to keep scoring after that to keep distance between themselves and Mahomes' Chiefs. That's not what happened. Their first two drives after halftime resulted in 18 net yards and two quick punts. That allowed the Chiefs to take back the lead.
The Chargers and Chiefs traded crushing fumbles in the fourth quarter. Keenan Allen had a catch that would have put the Chargers in field-goal range, but he coughed it up and the Chiefs recovered. After that Kansas City went on a drive that could have put the game away, but Chargers linebacker Troy Reeder punched out the ball from Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon and Los Angeles recovered.
