Chargers performance was OK but Chiefs were a bit more polished and came away with victory
The Chiefs are more talented at winning, and that’sAndy Reid’s program adjusted better to adversity, befitting an AFC West dynasty that seeks a seventh consecutive divisional title.The Chargers turned in a decent game, but the Chiefs were more resilient, much like in their Thursday night overtime win last season in Inglewood.
The game’s biggest play belonged to a Chiefs rookie, Jaylen Watson, who was on the field only because another rookie fell to injury four days earlier. It was a bigger win for the Chiefs than it was a loss for the Chargers , because Team Spanos has the more favorable schedule, although that might change.
Coach Brandon Staley twice punted on fourth-and-2 near midfield. That’s no way to beat Mahomes and Co. And his punter J.K. Scott, a newcomer living down to the Telesco-Spanos era of subpar special teams play, had consecutive punts of 29 and 34 yards.
