What to Know

The Kansas City Chiefs are 7-1 against the Los Angeles Chargers since September of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Sunday. Kansas City and Los Angeles will face off in an AFC West battle at 4:25 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium. The Chiefs won both of their matches against the Chargers last season (24-17 and 31-21) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

Kansas City took care of business in their home opener. They netted a 34-20 victory over the Houston Texans last week. Kansas City can attribute much of their success to RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who rushed for one TD and 138 yards on 25 carries.

Kansas City's defense was a presence as well, as it got past Houston's offensive line to sack QB Deshaun Watson four times for a loss of 11 yards. It was a group effort with three picking up one sack apiece.

Meanwhile, the Chargers had to kick off their season on the road last week, but they showed no ill effects. They skirted past the Cincinnati Bengals 16-13. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin. Los Angeles' only touchdown came from RB Joshua Kelley.

Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed ten. Kicker K Mike Badgley delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.

Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
