After two quick first quarter touchdowns by the Chiefs it looked like it was going to be a long night for the Chargers. But they managed to shut Kansas City out in the second quarter and go into the half only down by 7.
The Chiefs would add two scores in the second half as would the Chargers to make it a 28-21 game late in the 4th quarter.
The Chargers then scored with four seconds left on the clock and decided to go for the win with a two point conversion.

After the game Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he knew they were going for two along. They didn’t come all the way to Kansas City for a tie.

The win clinched a spot in the playoffs for Los Angeles. This game should finally quiet the Chargers doubters. They’re a legit team that could make some noise in the playoffs.
