The Kansas City Chiefs have clinched the AFC West title for the ninth consecutive season following their victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite a challenging game, the Chiefs managed to secure a late win, improving their record to 12-1.

Key performances included defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton, who recorded two sacks, and punter Matt Araiza, who excelled in his role. However, Chamarri Conner struggled in coverage, and Kareem Hunt's role diminished with the return of Isiah Pacheco.

Matthew Wright made history by becoming part of the first team to have multiple kickers make game-winning field goals in a single season. The Chiefs continue to navigate personnel challenges as they head toward the playoffs.
