Chiefs rally to beat Chargers 27-24 in AFC West showdown

Jaylen Watson picked off a Justin Herbert pass at the goal line and returned it 99 yards for a go-ahead touchdown to send the Chiefs to a big 27-24 home win over AFC West rival LA Chargers.

The Chiefs were down 17-7 early in the second half after a spectacular one-handed grab by Mike Williams. Kansas City then put up 20 unanswered points to put themselves in position to secure the win. After Watson’s interception return Matt Ammendola made a 31 yard field goal that proved to be the difference.

Justin Herbert continued to play the end of the game through a rib injury and threw a 7 yard touchdown to Josh Palmer with 1:11 to play. The Chiefs would then recover an onside attempt by the Chargers to secure the win.

Patrick Mahomes finished 24-35 passing for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns. Clyde Edwards-Helaire had 74 yards on the ground. The Chiefs improve to 2-0 and will now prep to face Indianapolis.

Justin Herbert finished 33-48 for 334 yards, 3 touchdowns, and the 1 interception. The Chargers fall to 1-1.
