Chiefs RB Charles doubtful vs. Chargers

He has been participating in practices but did not play in any of the Chiefs’ preseason games. If Kansas City can take away the bomb, San Diego will be hard-pressed to put together huge marches.

They went 11-1 without Charles last season, with Ware and West combining for 1,037 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. “Who can get off the ball the fastest?” “I’ve done that a number of years; before I came here I did it”.

San Diego had to deal with rookies being out extended periods of time the past two seasons because of lingering, minor injuries. However, the Saints have had historically some of the worst defense over the past few seasons, and the Chiefs will look to exploit this. The Chargers also have some added weapons this time around. The San Diego offense simply could not get into a rhythm. However, I see this playing out as a very close game. Chiefs are just a much more balanced team, even with the injuries.

Previous year the source of the Chiefs’ play-calling remained a curiosity as well. I don’t suspect San Diego will have all their running issues solved, which means this should be a classic KC game. That’s the one thing that’ll drive you nuts with him. The Chiefs’ front seven should be able to stop any run game the Chargers are attempting to establish. “But there’s a lot of evolution through this offense that has happened in the last four years”.

“You say, ‘Man, I’m good at this”.

They lost pro-bowl safety Eric Weddle in free agency.

The big question was whether Davis would stick. “Jamaal is probably not going to play”.

Even Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith would agree that Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is the best pocket passer in the AFC West. “I know Chiefs Kingdom will be ready, and it’s just up to us to make sure they’re loud and proud like they always are”, said Kelce. The over/under total for the game is listed at 44.5 points.

Berry, who beat cancer to earn a Pro Bowl berth and comeback player of the year honors in 2015, should be good to go against the Chargers.

John Gennaro: Chiefs 20, Chargers 13. It is the start of a new season, and everyone’s optimism is up. Bosa, Ingram, Attaochu and Emanuel must get to Smith in the backfield if the Chargers hope to win the game.

In some versions of a story September 4 and September 5 about a Notre Dame-Texas game, The Associated Press erroneously reported the Irish’s deficit in the third quarter. However, even when Allen was healthy a year ago, the Chargers were still only 2-6. Chiefs QB Alex Smith will lead his team to a home victory and a major jump-start to the 2016 National Football League season.
