Former Oklahoma State kicker Matt Ammendola didn’t start the week as a Chief, but he was vital in Kansas City advancing to 2-0 on the young season.
Kansas City beat the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium. Ammendola, who signed with the Chiefs earlier in the week, scored nine of Kansas City’s points, including seven in the fourth quarter.
Ammendola’s first field goal with the franchise came with 14:58 in remaining, a 19-yard attempt that tied the game at 17. He hit from 31 yards out with 3:20 to play to make KC’s lead 27-17 before the Chargers marched down the field and scored, making that last field goal a pseudo game-winner.
