Chargers win another gritty game with a punishing defense, doing just enough on offense. 

In a must have it game, the Chiefs didn't have it on offense at all. In a continuing theme for 2025 the Chiefs couldn't run the ball and couldn't hit any explosive plays in the passing game. Mahomes scrambled for their only TD. 

The Chiefs defense still played really well holding the Chargers to 16 points, but that still wasn't good enough. The lack of offensive production has fully caught up with the Chiefs and now they'll be on the couch watching the playoffs from home for the first time since Patrick Mahomes has been their starting QB.

The Chargers are playing gritty tough football lead by their defense. The line was harassing Mahomes all game lone and the secondary was teeing off on Chiefs receivers with some of the biggest hits we've seen all season. 

The Chargers have beaten the Eagles and Chiefs at their own game in back to back weeks. Tough Defense and tough offense. This team has truly taken on Jim Harbaugh's personality. This looks like a team that can make a deep run in playoffs.
