Week 6: Winless Chargers Visit Unbeaten Chiefs After Kansas City's Bye

Read the full recap →

The Los Angeles Chargers visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, October 18. Kansas City is 4-0 and coming off its bye after a 30-27 win at Las Vegas; Tyquan Thornton (ankle) and Rashee Rice (hamstring) were hurt in that game. Los Angeles is 0-5 after a 23-17 home loss to Denver in which Jim Harbaugh took responsibility for a failed fourth-and-1, and has lost 10 straight; both starting tackles were hurt the week before.

Kansas City's receivers

Thornton and Rice were hurt in Week 4; Tyreek Hill's agent says a signing is close.

Los Angeles' protection

Four rookies started on the line in Week 5.

The streak

Ten straight losses, the longest in the league.

The gap is the widest on the board

A 4-0 team off a bye against a team that cannot protect its quarterback.

Kansas City's defense against Herbert

Six interceptions in five games for the Chargers' quarterback.

Los Angeles has lost three straight by 6 to 8 points

It competes, which is why the projection is 17 and not single digits.

The week's widest lean.
