The Chargers drop to 2-4 as the Chiefs offense was clicking on all cylinders.
Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers is sacked by Drue Tranquill of the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 22, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri. Marquez Valdes-Scantling had three catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco also caught TD passes, and the Chiefs won their sixth straight to take a three-game lead in a division they have won seven straight years.
The Chiefs had been relying all season on their defense to bail out an offense that had struggled to hit its stride.After an opening drive that netted a field goal, the reigning league MVP capped three of the next four drives with TD passes. The first was a 46-yard strike to Valdes-Scantling, the second to Rice, and the final one — almost fittingly — a flip from the 1-yard line to Kelce, who bulldozed through a group of defenders and into the end zone with 15 seconds left in the first half.
The score left Mahomes with 321 yards passing, the fourth time in his career that he had been over 300 yards before halftime. And it left Kelce with nine catches for 143 yards and a score.
