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