Chargers
W 16-13 at Chiefs · Dec 14, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Chargers fans sweeping KC out of the playoff picture and still half-expecting the rug to get yanked.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Two red-zone interceptions of P.Mahomes — D.Henley at the 1 and D.James at the 18 with twenty seconds left — and the Chargers walk out of Arrowhead with a sweep and the Chiefs' playoff hopes in their back pocket. K.Lambert-Smith's 16-yard score from J.Herbert held up because the defense refused to break, but a 16-13 game that needed two goal-line picks to survive isn't exactly a blueprint. Three in a row, though.
