The Chiefs‘ dominance of the AFC West continued with a 17-10 victory over the Chargers in Los Angeles.
Patrick Mahomes‘ 54-yard connection with rookie Xavier Worthy gave Kansas City's offense life, and a Samaje Perine touchdown was enough for K.C. to prevail in a close affair.
Travis Kelce returned to expected form with seven catches for 89 yards. On the other side of things, rookie Ladd McConkey continued to turn heads with five catches for 67 yards and a score.

Player of the Game
Might the Chiefs have another superstar corner on their hands? Kansas City's Jaylen Watson was masterful in SoFi Stadium. Playing 56 snaps, the third-year Watson was targeted five times but didn't permit a single reception. Watson even had a chance at an interception but dropped it.
