The Kansas City Chiefs returned from their bye week hoping to extend their unbeaten winning streak by hosting the winless Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6 at Arrowhead Stadium. The latest AFC West showdown pitted two long-time rivals against each other for another intense battle, regardless of their records.
Patrick Mahomes had some questionable decision-making moments in the game, especially at the goal line on the first-half interception, but overall was solid. Travis Kelce delivered a gutsy performance after an early ankle injury, while Xavier Worthy shined at receiver. The offense continues to be led by running back Kenneth Walker III.

The defense was impressive throughout the game, keeping the Chargers in tough down situations. The sackless streak is over, with contributions from George Karlaftis, Chamarri Conner, Ashton Gillotte, and rookie Peter Woods, but Justin Herbert was often under pressure. Veteran linebacker Jack Cochrane’s interception reminded fans he’s more than a special-teams contributor.
Check out how some of Kansas City’s stars fared in the Chiefs’ victory over the Chargers:
