Match preview

The Kansas City Chiefs seek to bounce back from their defeat at Baltimore when they host the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC West showdown at Arrowhead Stadium.

It's Patrick Mahomes vs Justin Herbert - and it doesn’t get much better than that. The Chiefs suffered a dramatic 36-35 loss to the Ravens on Sunday night and they could struggle to see off the Chargers here.

Kansas City have been an offensive juggernaut, as expected, but what’s notable is that they play at the slowest pace in the NFL.

That means that if they get it wrong, there will be fewer chances in possession to pull away from the opposition.

Chargers quarterback Herbert has thrown for more than 300 yards in two games, while receiving duo Keenan Allen and Mike Williams have been on fire.

The Chargers had a few chances to pull away from the Cowboys last week but penalties cost them, and they should be much more disciplined this time.

They have no trouble moving the ball, and if they can get at the Chiefs then they should be able to push them all the way. Take Los Angeles to keep this within a touchdown.

Key stat

The Chiefs have covered the handicap in one of their last nine games as favourites.
