The performance of the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense in their 30-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday was probably the best we’ve seen this season — which isn’t saying much.
The run defense improved, holding the Chargers to 3.5 yards per attempt on 22 carries with four tackles for loss. They limited Los Angeles to only four conversions on their 11 third-down attempts. They also set the tone early with two short drives to start the game.
However, quarterback Justin Herbert threw four touchdowns and was only sacked once, finishing with a 125.
