### Chargers Fall to the Chiefs
In a game dominated by defensive plays, the Los Angeles Chargers were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs, 17-10, during Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season at SoFi Stadium.
Despite leading 10-7 at halftime, the Chargers couldn’t hold off the magic of Patrick Mahomes, who led a lethal offensive charge in the final quarter to secure victory for the Chiefs. The game began promisingly for the Chargers, who capitalized on two Kansas City turnovers—a fumble and an interception by Mahomes—to score 10 points early in the first quarter.
However, as the game progressed, the Chargers’ dominance waned. Mahomes orchestrated a decisive drive in the last quarter, culminating in a touchdown run by running back Samaje Perine, putting the Chiefs ahead 17-10.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 16 of his 27 passes for a total of 179 yards, including one touchdown. Meanwhile, running back J.K. Dobbins managed only 32 yards on the ground. On the other side, Mahomes had a modest game but still racked up 245 yards by completing 19 of 29 passes, including one touchdown and one interception. Tight end Travis Kelce was another standout performer for the Chiefs, catching 7 passes for 89 yards.
With this loss, the Chargers’ record drops to 2-2, while the Chiefs remain undefeated at 4-0, leading the AFC West. The Chargers will have a bye in Week 5 and are set to return in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, October 13th, at Empower Field.
