Chiefs Roll Into Week 6 Unbeaten as Winless Chargers Face a Daunting Trip to Kansas City
The Chargers are 0-5 after 13 turnovers, while the Chiefs have committed just two and remain one of the NFL's last unbeaten teams.
The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs host the winless Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. EDT in an AFC West showdown.
Los Angeles faces its worst start in more than two decades, struggling with 13 turnovers under Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, though all five losses have been by 12 points or fewer.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce needs 88 yards to pass Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history. The Chargers allow opponents to convert just 31.3% of third downs, the fifth-best mark in the NFL.
Kansas City returns from a bye week, where coach Andy Reid holds a 22-5 regular-season record, though quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play without injured wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton.
Chiefs pass rusher George Karlaftis emphasized divisional importance, saying, "Listen, its a divisional opponent, so those games are really, really, really important," as the Chargers seek their first victory.
