How to watch Kansas City Chiefs vs. LA Chargers: Kickoff time, TV info & betting odds

The NFL’s best record over the past decade has been amplified by the Chiefs’ success within its division. The opportunity to continue the domination continues on Sunday when the Los Angeles Chargers visit GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs look to push their AFC West winning streak to 13 games, a run that started by winning the final five against the Chargers, Raiders and Broncos in 2021, all six in 2022 and by beating Denver last week.

An amazing stat: Patrick Mahomes, 28-3 as a starter in division games, has never lost one on the road. He’s dropped two to the Chargers and one to the Raiders at Arrowhead.

The run predates Mahomes. Alex Smith went 18-9 against the division. Two other quarterbacks have started division games in the Andy Reid era: Chase Daniel went 1-1 and Chad Henne 0-1.

Add it up, and Andy Reid teams are 47-14 against the AFC West, and eight of those losses came in his first two Chiefs seasons.

Where and when is Chiefs vs. Chargers game?

The Chiefs meet the Chargers at 3:25 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 22, at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs would not have covered that line in either meeting last year, as both games were decided by a field goal.

When did the Chiefs last play the Chargers?
