Kansas City Chiefs crush San Diego Chargers

The Bolts were coming off a bye week, but looked anything but coming out flat and lost. They won their first game of the season and then went on to lose five straight games. He was the focal point of a Chargers era in which they advanced to an AFC Championship Game and won five AFC West titles.

As part of his speech, Tomlinson thanked Chargers owner Dean Spanos, which drew boos from the crowd as the team’s future in San Diego remains uncertain with a possible relocation to Los Angeles lingering. Smith spotted running back Charcandrick West floating out of the backfield into clear space over the middle and the catch-and-run turned into a 47-yard play, resembling the 80-yarder they paired up on in last weekend’s victory at Denver. “It was about the execution more than it was about the effort”. One day soon, he’ll be joined by his former teammates Phillip Rivers and Antonio Gates.

To what degree, will be determined starting Sunday in Jacksonville. I mean we are sitting at 2-8 and I think he and I both, after being together for so long, we’re like we got to figure this thing out. Chiefs swept Chargers previous year, including 19-7 win in finale at KC behind backup QB Chase Daniel that knocked Chargers out of playoffs.

McCoy likely rides this out and then good luck predicting what this baffling organization will do. On 4th and goal from the 1-yard line KC head coach Andy Reid sent in 346-pound defensive tackle Dontari Poe, not as a blocker, but as a running back.

So the Bolts fall to 2-8 on the season and are still going in the wrong direction.

Tomlinson embodied the skills (speed, agility and power) envied by every top running back from his day.

The Chargers on the other hand, have experienced tough loss after tough loss in some close and highly competitive games.

“Sometimes we don’t start fast and we’re always digging ourselves out of a hole”, Peters said.

And it ends with numbers that will determine his fate. On Sunday, he intercepted a Philip Rivers pass and returned it 17 yards for a touchdown, the first of his career. The Chiefs need to keep Rivers under his average, while getting him on the ground and grabbing a few of those throws. There were passes dropped by an inexperienced receiving crew and his pass protection was suspect most of the game. Unfortunately, injuries derailed this ride, besides LT’s injury; Philip Rivers was literally playing on one leg. He had a MASH-style, arthroscopic ACL surgery on his right knee, which allowed him to stay upright all game, but not very effective in throwing the football. But they have nothing to do with a team that consistently does not compete on game days.

What the Kansas City Chiefs have accomplished this season is hardly rare. The Chargers have to throw to win because they can’t run it, so look for plenty of big plays and a high percentage of points today in San Diego. So much for that approach.

Not only did Rivers struggle, but the Chargers rushed for 52 yards, which ties a season-low. Blame here can’t all fall at Gordon’s feet – run-blocking was non-existent.
