Chiefs Defeat Chargers 17-10 to Remain Undefeated

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10 at SoFi Stadium, improving to 4-0 for the first time since 2020. After falling behind 10-0 due to early turnovers, including a fumble by rookie Carson Steele and an interception by Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs rallied with a strong second half. Mahomes, making his 100th regular-season start, connected with rookie Xavier Worthy for a 54-yard touchdown, and running back Samaje Perine scored the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Tight end Travis Kelce had a standout performance, catching seven passes for 89 yards and becoming the franchise's all-time leader in receptions. The Chiefs' defense was instrumental, not allowing any points in the second half and consistently pressuring Chargers QB Justin Herbert, who was hindered by a high ankle sprain. Kansas City will next face the New Orleans Saints on October 7.
