The Chiefs completely sucked yesterday as there is no need to sugarcoat things.  Brodie Croyle got the start at QB and he was pathetic.  He completed 7 of 17 passes for 40 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He was replaced late in the game by Tyler Palko who completed 2 of 3 passes for 8 yards.  Jamaal Charles led the way for the Chiefs on the ground in this game with 40 yards rushing on 10 carries (4.0 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 9 yards.  Thomas Jones could only muster 1 yard rushing on 3 carries (0.3 ypc) in this game.  WR Terrance Copper (2 rec, 15 yards) and TE Tony Moeaki (2 rec, 13 yards) led the way for the Chiefs in the passing game.  The Chiefs finished up with 48 yards rushing on 17 carries (2.8 ypc) and they also completed 9 of 20 passes for 19 yards as they only had the ball for 19:50 in this game.

LB Derrick Johnson (9 tackles), CB Brandon Carr (8 tackles) and safety Eric Berry (7 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception) led the way for the Chiefs’ D in this game.  DE Wallace Gilberry recovered a fumble in this game for the Chiefs.  The Chargers finished up with 207 yards rushing on 43 carries (4.8 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 24 passes for 219 yards.  The Chiefs still lead the AFC West with a 8-5 record but they are only 1 game ahead of the Chargers.
