Chargers 1st drive: Punt

On 3rd-and-10, Philip Rivers was almost sacked and the ball was almost picked off. But Chargers WR Keenan Allen made the catch and the refs ruled him down just short of the first down. The play was challenged and the refs upheld the ruling.
Chiefs 2nd drive: Punt
Second straight drive Alex was sacked on third down. So frustrating
— Arrowhead Pride (@ArrowheadPride) November 24, 2013
At least Jamaal Charles touched it on this drive.

Chargers 2nd drive: Field goal (3-0, Chargers)

Akeem Jordan doing his best DJ impression and bursting through the line to stop the runner on first down.
Marcus Cooper got picked by a Chargers WR which led to Rivers hitting Keenan Allen for 29 yards and pushed them into Chiefs territory.

Chiefs 3rd drive: Touchdown (7-3, Chiefs)
Was that DMC doing a little trash-talking? Looked like it at least. 17-yard gain for DMC
— Arrowhead Pride (@ArrowheadPride) November 24, 2013
False start on Branden Albert.
Chiefs picked up first downs on passes to DMC, Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe. There they are getting their playmakers involved.
SCORE: The Chargers CB slipped which left Donnie Avery wide open for a 32-yard TD.
Chiefs had passes of 17, 10, 13 and 32 (TD) on that drive. The passing game is alive? 7-3 #Chiefs lead #Chargers.

SECOND QUARTER
Chargers 3rd drive: Punt
The Chiefs run defense is solid. They shut down a stretch play from the Chargers.
Marcus Cooper is being picked on. Keenan Allen hardly put a move on him and Cooper was off balance, which led to a San Diego first down on a 3rd-and-5.
Chiefs are going to need to make adjustments with Keenan Allen on 3rd down. They have gone to him every 3rd down.

Tamba is the Chief who is down. He is being helped off. Very concerning
— Arrowhead Pride (@ArrowheadPride) November 24, 2013
Frank Zombo, replacing Tamba, got what appeared to be a sack on Rivers, but the refs ruled that he got the pass off. They forced a punt anyway.

That 3rd down was followed by a 16-yard pass to Anthony Fasano.
PI on the Chargers. Part of the reason throwing down field is worth it. Chiefs now in Chargers territory

Chiefs 10th drive: Field goal (31-27, Chiefs)
It's the fourth quarter so the Chiefs must be running the ball.

RB Jamaal Charles' 46-yard run is longest of the season. Charles now has 112 rushing yards today. His 2nd 100-yard rushing day of 2013.
