The Chargers face off against the Chiefs this Sunday afternoon in a bout where the outcome could end up meaning a whole lot more to the visitors than the home team.
If the Chiefs lose, they’re still comfortably in the lead of the AFC West, especially if the Raiders also come out of this weekend with a loss. If the Chargers lose, they’ll fall to 2-4 ahead of a mixed stretch of difficulty throughout the rest of their schedule. But heck, even if it was softer schedule the rest of the way, a team with more than simply playoff aspirations never wants to see themselves hit 2-4 at any point.
