We gave you the Kansas City Chiefs/San Diego Chargers connections back on October 21st for the two team's first meeting. A couple of things have changed since thing as far as connections go.

First, the Chiefs nabbed former Chargers WR Chris Chambers off the waiver wire back in early November. And for Chargers guard Mike Goff, who was a Chief for most of this season, has been put on IR by KC ending his season.

After those two, there is much new to report.

  • Chargers RB Darren Sproles prepped at Olathe North HS in Olathe, KS and played at Kansas State.

Does anyone know the severity of the Jeromey Clary injury? You can tell he is a team leader because when he got hurt every member of the Chargers had a look of horror on their face.
