Chiefs vs. Chargers Preview, Score and More

Filed under: , ,

The Chiefs could be without quarterback Matt Cassel for their key divisional game against the Chargers, the four-time defending AFC West champions who would be eliminated from the division race with a loss. Cassel had an appendectomy on Wednesday and backup Brodie Croyle would start in his place if he can't go. The Chiefs are bidding for a fourth straight win for the first time since 2004. They signaled their readiness to challenge for the division crown when they took the season opener from San Diego 21-14. A victory would mark their first sweep of the two-game season series with the Chargers in seven years.

The Chargers suffered a blow to their playoff hopes a week ago when they were upset 28-13 by the Raiders, who at 6-6 are tied with San Diego for second place in the division, two games behind front-running Kansas City with four to play. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers heads into the game as the league's third-ranked passer with a rating of 102.5. Last week's loss marked the first time Rivers had lost a December game in 19 career starts during the month.
