The Chargers could look to run the ball more this week mixing and matching Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler because the Chiefs have one of the worst run stopping defenses in the NFL.
The Chargers listed cornerback Casey Hayward questionable with a calf injury but he also plans to play in Saturday night's game.
It's been a odd season in the NFL and in the AFC West itself with the Denver Broncos looking like one of the worst teams in football and the Oakland Raiders failing to capitalize on their great season from a year ago. No matter where Chiefs fans get their game tickets, they will be pretty happy after another home win on a national stage by the Kansas City Chiefs.
If the Chargers win they take a 1-game lead with two to play, not as much of a stranglehold on the top spot but certainly in good shape with games against the Jets and Raiders left. The over/under for this game is 46.5 points. It's a matchup that, despite being on the road, sets up well for L.A. has barely run on any functional defense since Week 5, and the Chiefs' pass defense. Rivers will target his most important weapon, wide receiver Keenan Allen.
The Chargers (7-6), meanwhile, lost their first four games and were almost written off before stringing together three straight wins. However, their biggest issue has been being able to finish games The Chargers are famous for Chargering. Allen has averaged 137 yards on 10 catches during the last four games, all Chargers wins. They're now riding a four-game win streak that includes a rout of Washington last weekend that kept them tied with the Chiefs atop the division.
The Chargers offensive line has been one of the unsung heroes of this season.

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: Chiefs DL Jarvis Jenkins. That adjustment helped them better match up with athletic tight ends like Kelce, and also coincided with their stinginess against the run. Jenkins brings energy and flexibility that relies heavily on a defensive line rotation. "I'll say yes. Chargers win 27-17". He completed just eight of 34 such throws for 289 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. Running back Melvin Gordon is eighth in the National Football League with 853 rushing yards. Rookie RB Kareem Hunt went over 1,000 rushing yards, and this week WR Tyreek Hill could go over 1,000 yards receiving with just 14 yards. He is the first Charger with four consecutive 100-yard receiving games since Wes Chandler in 1982. He has an even higher success rate than Williams (though not enough targets to qualify for a ranking), and has added four sacks and a pick-six.
And then you've got the added element of the Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith being from San Diego.
Last week against the Oakland Raiders, Smith ran for 24 yards on five carries, including a long of 16 yards in a 26-15 win.
Reid would become only the second head coach in franchise history to reach the playoffs that many times in a five-year span, joining Marty Schottenheimer. Against a lackluster schedule, Phil Rivers and company rebounded and have put together a solid winning streak to tie the Chiefs atop the division. All Pro CB Marcus Peters returns to the lineup after a weeklong suspension. This is going to be an incredible atmosphere and I can not wait to see Keenan Allen's revenge performance vs. Marcus Peters.
