KC

The Los Angeles Chargers stunned the rest of the NFL when they took the field Sunday with rookie Justin Herbert as their unannounced starting quarterback. But coach Anthony Lynn wasted no time following L.A.’s overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs declaring veteran Tyrod Taylor as the team’s QB1 moving forward, saying Taylor will keep the job he held in Week 1 as long as he’s “100 percent ready to go” after a sudden and mysterious chest injury apparently led to his absence against Kansas City.
Many pundits cast Herbert as one of the least NFL-ready of this year’s top rookie QBs, but against a Chiefs defense that kept Deshaun Watson under wraps in Week 1 AND helped K.C. win the last Super Bowl, the Oregon product went 22 of 33 for 311 yards, led L.A. to within four points of upsetting the reigning champs and, most importantly, looked good doing it.
THE CHARGER DEFENSE KEPT THE CHIEFS OFF BALANCE PENATRATING THE BACKFIELD AND GIVING QB PATRICK MAHOMES FITS…..THE CHEIFS DEFENSE DIDN;T LOOK EXTREMLY SHARP AND THEY HAD TO TURN THINGS OVER THE SPECIAL TEAMS FOR THE “W”…

Harrison Butker wasn’t nervous about his third attempt to kick a game-winning field goal in overtime for the Kansas City Chiefs. After a false start, AND A PENALTY BEFORE THE FIRST KICK WENT THRU THE UPRIGHTS, and Los Angeles Chargers timeout BEFORE THE 2ND KICK WENT THRU, Butker was determined to end it.
Butker connected from 58 yards with 1:55 remaining in overtime to give the Chiefs a 23-20 victory on Sunday.

Sunday’s finish was an absolute win for Kansas City, which now enters an anticipated Week 3 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens undefeated, it didn’t quite satisfy those who wagered the whopping 94 percent of betting tickets on the Chiefs to cover the game’s 8.5-point spread.
