6. The Mike Williams Grab

With 52 seconds left in the fourth quarter and the Chargers backed up to their own 25, Rivers unleashed another deep pass, this one intended for wide receiver Mike Williams.

Somehow, Williams split defenders Fenton and Charvarius Ward for 50-yard completion, setting up the Chargers with a first down at the Chiefs’ 25 with 44 seconds to go. Other than this play, Fenton and Ward both played well Monday night, but had the Chargers ended up scoring on this drive, this play no doubt would’ve plagued the young corners.

7. The Mike Williams Clock-Stop Botch

Even after the catch, more than eight seconds should’ve gone off the clock, but NFL refs gonna NFL ref: they called Williams out of bounds.

Except he wasn’t.

Mike Williams was not out of bounds. He was touched, and therefore down, in bounds, and the clock should’ve kept ticking away precious L.A. seconds.

This botched call by the refs almost cost the Chiefs a victory.

8. Ekeler Goes Wild

Running back Austin Ekeler has had quite the season for the Chargers. He started the first four games of the season while Melvin Gordon held out, and since Gordon’s returned, Ekeler’s done a heck of a job catching passes from Rivers.

Against the Chiefs was no exception: Ekeler led the team in receptions (eight) and receiving yards (108) while tying for the team lead in targets (12) with wide receiver Keenan Allen. Ekeler was also the target on the Chargers final offensive play of the game.

It would really behoove the Chiefs to cover running backs in the passing game a little bit better.

9. L.A.’s Two-Point Conversion

There’s not much to say here other than point out that tight end Hunter Henry, who caught the pass for the two points, was wide open.

10. Once Again: Penalties

For the game, the Chiefs committed eight penalties for 102 yards. This team just keeps shooting itself in the foot. Maybe this is one of the things the team can chat about cleaning up during the bye week.
