How to watch Chargers vs. Chiefs: TV coverage, radio, online stream and more
By Matt Conner
Here’s all the info you’ll need to catch the broadcast when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Los Angeles Chargers for AFC West Supremacy.
Despite the reality that two games remain on the regular season schedule for both teams, Saturday’s showdown between the visiting Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs feels like a one game season unto itself. The AFC West is on the line as the two remaining teams atop the standings face off in a tale of disparate trajectories.
For the Chiefs, you know the familiar story: a franchise lauded as the NFL’s best (and only unbeaten) through five weeks came crashing to earth faster than Icarus, creating doubt on offense and exposing numerous weaknesses on defense. For a game won and lost in the trenches, the Chiefs simply haven’t looked great along either line this year, although last week’s play offers a bit of hope that the they might be coming together at the right time.
The Chargers are playing it like you’re supposed to in the NFL. Despite an 0-4 start under brand new coach Anthony Lynn, many of those were very close, last-minute losses that could have easily gone in the other direction. Against a lackluster schedule, Phil Rivers and company rebounded and have put together a solid winning streak to tie the Chiefs atop the division. They have the momentum, young talent on both sides and a dangerous quarterback with plenty of weapons.
This is the sort of must-watch football that will make Arrowhead a dangerous venue. It’s not yet winner-takes-all, but it certainly feels that way. Here are some helpful links to get you prepared for game, complete with previews, injuries, key match-ups and interviews.
