The Kansas City Chiefs won't win the AFC West this season and Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert is ready to take the QB baton from Patrick Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs took a tough loss on Sunday, the Los Angeles Chargers win on Monday night made things much worse.

These two teams opened the season in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Justin Herbert and the Chargers set the tone for their season with a 27-21 win. The star signal-caller threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns to lead Los Angeles to victory. Lets dive into the matchup and see what the numbers tell us.

The Chargers suffered several notable injuries during the win over the Eagles and have a short week before playing the Chiefs.

Kansas City has a 16% chance to make the playoffs after slipping below .500 with a 20-10 loss on Sunday against the Houston Texans, a loss that officially ended any hope of winning the AFC West.

The Kansas City Chiefs' playoff hopes hang by a thread, and it could be the performance of an old AFC West foe that eventually snips that thread. After the results of Week 14, the Chiefs need a whole lot to go right for them to reach the NFL postseason.

Despite being just 14 weeks into the NFL season, Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans ensured that the Kansas City Chiefs will finish the 2025 regular season wit

But Payton and staff watched Mahomes throw two picks in the fourth quarter, and Houston take control in a 20-10 win. And that solidified it, a steady bleed after the Broncos beat the Chiefs 22-19 in mid-November: Kansas City has been mathematically eliminated from winning their division.
