After watching Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers' offense fight back from a 13-3 deficit to the rival Kansas City Chiefs, first tying the score at 13-13 on a 23-yard field goal from Cameron Dicker with just under nine minutes to play in the third quarter and then taking a 16-13 lead on a 49-yarder from Dicker roughly eight minutes later, the Bolts' defense knew its job was to keep the three-time defending AFC champs from putting points on the board in the final frame.
And Jesse Minter's unit did just that. After the Chiefs had gotten themselves into the red zone on the drive following Dicker's go-ahead kick, Los Angeles safety Daiyan Henley picked off Patrick Mahomes near the goal line on a jump ball thrown in the direction of Kareem Hunt.
