The one Chargers player who could flip Week 1 on its head

The Los Angeles Chargers are just days away from a pivotal season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Most would expect the Chiefs, who have won five of the last six AFC championships, including three straight, to escape with a victory down in Brazil.

However, Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers have a chance to flip the NFL on its head by taking down the conference's Goliath and putting them in the losing column in Week 1. This game also effectively counts as double, considering it is an AFC West divisional matchup.

While it will take a variety of factors for the Bolts to pull off an upset victory, which would be their first win against Kansas City since September of 2021, it is going to take one player, in particular, for the Chargers to achieve their desired result.
