The Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Los Angeles Chargers, 30-24, at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon in a wild, back-and-forth game that featured multiple lead changes in the final quarter of play.
Locked in a tie at 24 points apiece and with just two minutes remaining, Chargers’ safety Alohi Gilman picked off Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes to flip possession back to Los Angeles at midfield. Los Angeles then elected to go for it on fourth down at the Chiefs’ 35-yard line, but while Kansas City came up with a defensive stop on the play, a pass interference call extended the drive. Chargers’ quarterback Justin Herbert then found wide receiver Mike Williams for a go-ahead touchdown two snaps later, pushing Los Angeles ahead for good.
Kansas City still had a chance, taking over with just over 30 seconds left, but Mahomes’ heave for the end zone fell incomplete and the Chargers dealt the Chiefs their second-consecutive loss.
