The lights will shine bright on Friday night when the Chiefs square off against the Chargers in a clash that could set the tone for the AFC West race.
Kansas City has had a stranglehold on the division for nearly a decade, stacking up nine straight titles like clockwork. But whispers around the league suggest this might be the season the mighty Chiefs finally show a few cracks in the armor—and the Chargers, under Jim Harbaugh’s fiery leadership, are eager to pounce.
The Chiefs are fresh off a 15-2 campaign that once again landed them atop the West and into the postseason for the tenth consecutive year. Meanwhile, the Chargers finished at 11-6 in 2024, sneaking into the Wild Card round and proving Harbaugh’s first year was more than just smoke and mirrors.
For Justin Herbert, the stage is set to turn the corner from potential to powerhouse. He’s only managed two wins in nine tries against Kansas City, and if Los Angeles hopes to flip the script in this division, finding a way past Patrick Mahomes and company is priority number one. After all, to be the best, one has to knock off the best.
