Kansas City Chiefs 59
KANSAS CITY - While close early, this highly touted matchup quickly turned into a rout with the Kansas City handing the San Diego their first lost in a matchup of unbeaten teams.
"Man, that was a tough one," Quarterback Jacoby Brissett said. "Tough to be out there today. Felt like we played 3 games."
Word quickly spread pre-game in the Chiefs locker room that Chargers coach Nick Sirianni had told his team that "We don't respect the Chiefs" in his pregame speech.
When asked if the alleged comment sparked the Chiefs, tight end Travis Kielce smirked and ran off into the tunnel.
Asked about the comment, Sirianni said, "No. I didn't say that. I wouldn't say something like. Maybe in some other universe, but not this one."
Regardless, the Chargers will look to regroup next week at home against the Bears.
