Chiefs stay unbeaten, Chargers stay winless

The Kansas City Chiefs extended their perfect start to 5-0 with a commanding 22-6 victory over the winless Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, securing their first win over the team since 2021. Justin Herbert struggled mightily, throwing his eighth interception of the season while also losing a fumble, as the Chiefs' defense dominated early with four sacks and a strong overall effort.

Despite a shaky second half that included a missed field goal and a costly fumble by punt returner Nikko Remigio, Kansas City held on to extend their lead to a 19-3 halftime margin, with Kenneth Walker III rushing for two touchdowns and 128 yards on 19 carries. Patrick Mahomes completed 23 of 30 passes for 272 yards, though a pair of turnovers—including an interception in the end zone—limited the Chiefs' scoring output.

The loss drops the Chargers to 0-6, their worst start in franchise history, and leaves them facing a critical bye week with no clear path to improvement. Meanwhile, Kansas City’s offensive depth was on display as Mahomes targeted eight different receivers, while the team suffered a setback with right tackle Jaylon Moore exiting with a concussion ahead of their Week 7 showdown with Seattle.
