Chiefs 37, Chargers 13
The Kansas City Chiefs started with the football and scored touchdowns on each of their first two drives— first on a rush by Kareem Hunt and then the very first receiving touchdown of Ross Travis’ career. The Chargers would cut the lead to 14-7 after a Hunter Henry touchdown, but after that it was a 23-6 run for Kansas City led by two touchdowns from Travis Kelce. Cairo Santos was a perfect 3 for 3 on the day.
