The Chargers offense seemed up to to challenge of keeping up with the Chiefs offense in the first half but could not score in the second in a 31-17 loss.
After being torched by Kansas City’s offense in the first half, the Chargers responded in the second… It still wasn’t enough. The Chiefs’ seven-point halftime lead remained intact deep into the fourth quarter before they put the Chargers away with a late score 31-17. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce tormented the Chargers early. Mahomes finished 32 of 42 for 424 yards and four touchdowns and Kelce with 12 catches for 179 yards.
After a 3-3 first quarter, the Chiefs produced the game’s first touchdown 49 seconds into the second quarter when Mahomes connected with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a 46-yard score. Mahomes shook loose from some Chargers’ pressure, rolled to his right and then tossed to Valdes-Scantling, who separated from cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. for the big play. The Chargers answered immediately after the Kansas City kickoff when running back Joshua Kelley went 49 yards for a touchdown.
