Even shorthanded on offense and defense, the Chargers jumped to a 10-0 lead on the two-time defending Super Bowl champs before the Chiefs came back to win.
Facing a tie score in the fourth quarter for a second consecutive week, the Chargers lined up with a chance to make a strong statement. Fourth and one from the Kansas City three-yard line, Justin Herbert dropped back. Before he could even set his feet to pass, Kansas City's Chris Jones was in the quarterback’s face. Herbert could only throw the best chance to knock off their AFC West rival through the back of the end zone.
But Herbert got up from the play limping after absorbing a strong hit from Kansas City defensive end Malik Herring. Already hobbled with a high-right ankle sprain, Herbert was sacked twice and hit 10 times behind an offensive line without starting tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt . Herbert finished with 179 yards and one touchdown on 16-of-27 passing. “Gotta get him just a little bit more time,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said.
