Chiefs-Chargers could impact AFC's No. 1 seed | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

James Williams

Teams do need 3 offensive guy’s who can take a squad over the top. I’ve always said the chief’s have 2 kelce/ hill. The, giants had 3 backs, a strong defense. 49ers had joe, roger, rice. I, strongly believe that the browns have it also. Chubb/ hunt/ #30. Run the ball down teams throats.

    Earl Union Jr

    @James Williams what you think now ?

    Earl Union Jr

    @James Williams what you kno now i kno my game…waz est 6-16-69

    Earl Union Jr

    @James Williams CHEMISTRY!!!!!

    James Williams

    @Earl Union Jr yes sir. They have a strong chemistry with determination..

    Steve Schutte

    @James Williams If the Niners get credit for Joe Montana as their 3rd superstar during the 80s, why don’t you give the Chiefs credit for Mahomes as the superstar?

Brandon Miller

People don’t realize but since our bye, the Chargers have had the 6th best run defense

    Dallas Grimm

    @Kenneth Cadwell against the Raiders 2x, the Broncos, the Cowboys and the Giants

    Kenneth Cadwell

    @Dallas Grimm you better check the stats. Dallas, Denver, and Washington all 3 have better run games than the Chargers………

    Not to mention Henry with the Titans………

    Chiefs faced them all and shut them down……….

    Titans won but not because of Henry. In last 3 matchups against Chief’s Henry has been shutdown all 3 times……..

    So try again……..

    Mike Blick

    Run defense isn’t that important vs the Chiefs….

    Dallas Grimm

    @Mike Blick true it is limiting what Mahomes can do

    R. William Comm

    Yes they have & I’m concerned that Clyde Edwards-Helaire will fumble even though he’s only fumbled twice this season. Something about the way he handles the ball makes me think he’s on the edge of fumbling. I expect to see the Chargers try to know the ball out tonight.

Mehmet Yigit

Chargers are without 3/5 starting o-lineman, not sure if they can give Herbert enough time to unleash that cannon

    Mehmet Yigit

    @Westcoastfrank aboushi at guard

    Matt

    Chiefs are down 3 great rushers, unfortunately.

    Thomas Manning

    That’s my concern too.

    XOThus Productions

    @deadendkid1968 His brother died

    deadendkid1968

    @XOThus Productions YES…HE WAS MURDERED…but he made the trip back to KC in time to travel to LA…so naturally it seemed he wanted to play…

jay f

If both teams decide to run the ball tonight, I’m going to be pissed!

crex

Always confuses me how many times people say “This is Herbert’s big moment to take the next step.” It happens every prime time game and every divisional game and he continues to take that next step. What else does it take for people to realize he already has?

    crex

    @ADM lets gooooooooo

    crex

    @ADM I guess that’s true. Big game lets win it

    ADM

    @crex Cant wait! Bolt up

    Mike Blick

    Would help if he was leading the division….but he’s not…after having a 2 game lead. Win the division, win a playoff game, there’s levels to this

    crex

    @Mike Blick I get that but people are asking for him to win playoff games rn. They are saying the next step is to win these prime time games. WHICH HES DONE. I understand saying win the division win a playoff game etc but they r stuck on a prime time game which he has continued to prove he performs at a high level for

Don Armstrong

Simms is getting lazy, chiefs ran for 186 in the first meeting, chiefs lost because of 4 turnovers. These narratives are lazy.

    madjames 23

    He wants to be right so he has to be negative on the chiefs. When mahomes wax the chargers he will say the chargers wasn’t ready for prime time. It will be another excuse

    Brandon Ebling

    As a fan of Simms I agree he’s not focusing enough on the actual game and it’s showing.

    madjames 23

    Lol he will come up with something else watch

Jamie Moreno

You all can not accept this is not the same chiefs team! Quit comparing them to last years team! They are adapting to win games. More so maybe than any other NFL team ever! Stop it with the chiefs having to score 40 points a game all in the air!

    Rene Too Beast

    Well that’s the only way they showed us how to win, through the air

    R. William Comm

    How does missing defensive stuff Chris Jones for Covid affect the Chiefs tonight? I’m not saying it to be a jerk, I’m on the edge of betting this game but I’m worried that Herbert will have a big game without Jones tonight.

    Rene Too Beast

    @R. William Comm it’s even all around, the chargers are missing three linemen which is gonna be a huge factor, but chiefs are missing Chris Jones who was been huge in their winning streak. They’re also missing a couple corners which will help Herb get the ball out a bit quicker

    Tyler Parvin

    @R. William Comm really don’t think so we have Ingram and Clark so think herbet going to have a rough night

    R. William Comm

    Thank you all. It was a good game.

Franky Hernandez

I love how my chargers are underrated but tonite is the time to break the barrier and let ‘em know we are foreal with Justin Herbert 🔵🟡🔵🟡🔵🟡⚡️⚡️⚡️🤫

    Terry Jarrett

    Hahaha 🤣😂

    Martin Porras

    And if your butt was butter it wouldn’t hurt as much. GO CHIEFS

    XOThus Productions

    This didn’t age well

Brett Jones

Chris Jones not playing is gonna hurt the chiefs defense. Mahomes and the offense better show up and prove they can do it when it matters!

G Peterson

The YAC . Chiefs YAC numbers on short pass. You cannot talk about run and then not discuss the YAC and short pass. Zolare is a better pass run back, not really the kind of back Chiefs need.

Lloyd McElroy

The game really comes down to preparedness. One thing I can tell you right now is Andy can not stand to lose to any team 2 times. This is important because he will be ready for everything that the Chargers used last time to win. Also the only reason for the last win was turnovers. Getting 4 this game will not happen and winning will not be easy for the Chargers with their injuries because of a lack of bench to come in and cover those positions. Eckler is hurt and limping on every play because of over use in games.

Tyler Parvin

Defense wins games just saying and the way the chiefs defense has been playing all we have to do is score 3 td and let’s are defense thrive 🤌🏽

Samoan Tribe

Game will come down to the team that plays cleaner football. The team with less turnovers, penalties and limit mistakes will win this game.

34-31 Chargers

    LaMarcus Davis

    Looks like the chiefs!

Young Tachi

Chiefs D would end all doubt tonight with a good defense stand I got the chiefs 21-17

Matt

You forgot Mahomes. The triple threat is Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce.

King_of_ The_North

Which of these offensive coordinators is most likely to be a h.c. next year. Eric bieniemy or joe Lombardi?

Brad Stubbs

The reason Mahomes doesn’t have the huge numbers is because lately they have been on the short field because of the defense. Points is what counts, not yardage. As far as a running game for the Chiefs, how do you know that they are not working on it in practice and they will bring it out in the playoffs when it really counts.

EJ

Bolts 27-20

Calvin Sharp

Totally doubting red kingdom!!

U I U

And the inconsistent Chargers were inconsistent….. Once again!
