The Kansas City Chiefs (1-6) looked awful in their loss Sunday to the San Diego Chargers (3-3).  Matt Cassel threw three interceptions and only got 97 yards on 10/25 passes.  Cassel is not the only one to blame, since his offensive line gave him no time and Cassel was sacked four times.  Cassel hooked up with Dwayne Bowe on a seven yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter for the Chiefs only score of the game.  Running back Larry Johnson only got 49 yards on 16 carries (3.0 avg) but his backup Jammal Charles was one of the few bright spots for the Chiefs, gaining 33 yards on four carries (8.25 avg).

The Chiefs defense could not do anything to stop the Chargers offense.  Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers threw three touchdowns, including two in the first quarter.  He finished the game with 268 yards on 18/30 pass attempts.  The Chargers’ running game also killed the Chiefs.  Going into this contest the Chargers were only averaging 58 rushing yards per game, one of the worst averages in the league.  They racked up 135 yards in this game though, with LaDainian Tomlinson leading the way with 71 yards on 23 carries (3.1 avg) and Darren Sproles adding 41 yards on five carries (8.2 avg).  The Chiefs topped off their terrible performance in the 4th quarter when the Chargers’ Jacob Hester blocked Dustin Colquitt’s punt and recovered it in the endzone for a touchdown.  The Chiefs have a bye this week.
