All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 424 yards and four touchdowns, with the Kansas City defense shutting down a potent Los Angeles offense in the second half, as the Chiefs beat the Chargers 31-17 on Sunday afternoon in an AFC West showdown at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Tight end Travis Kelce had his biggest game of the 2023 season, amassing 12 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown, as the Chiefs took a commanding three-game lead in a division they have won seven yards in a row.
