Elijah Molden and the Los Angeles Chargers faced disappointment after a narrow 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, marking their second close defeat this season. Despite a strong performance from quarterback Justin Herbert, who threw for 213 yards and a touchdown, the Chargers struggled with missed opportunities and a lack of a rushing attack.

With key receiver Ladd McConkey sidelined, Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston stepped up, but the team's running game continued to falter, averaging just 2.6 yards per carry. The Chargers' defense had a strong first half but failed to maintain pressure on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the second half, ultimately leading to their inability to secure the win.
