The Kansas City Chiefs were a team with everything up against them as they faced the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday — entering the game, the team was already without top cornerbacks Bashaud Breeland (suspension) and Charvarius Ward (fractured hand) and defensive end Alex Okafor (hamstring). Still, many (including myself) expected them to run over the Los Angeles Chargers.
That was not the case. The Chargers front seven was completely relentless, as it hit Patrick Mahomes seven times. The Chiefs offensive line struggled to contain defensive end Joey Bosa — one of the best in the league at his position — and he disrupted the effort all day.
