The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Los Angeles Chargers in week 2 of the NFL season. This will be a battle between two of the best teams in the NFL that are part of the same division.

The Chiefs are coming off a dominant win against the Arizona Cardinals in week 1. Patrick Mahomes despite the loss of Tyreek Hill looked like the best player in the league and had a sensational performance to start the season.

The LA Chargers also edged out a win against division rivals Las Vegas Raiders to start their season on a high note. They massively improved in the offseason and would like to show the Chiefs their improvement as well.

  • Patrick Mahomes – Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes was arguably the best player in the league during week 1. He completely outplayed the Cardinals’ defense and had five touchdown passes without an interception or getting sacked. He will be extra motivated playing at home against a top team like the Chargers and we can expect another great performance from him.

Match Prediction & Telecast Details:

This will be a closely fought game between two great teams and two great quarterbacks but the Kansas City Chiefs might edge this game out as they are playing at home. Moreover, the Chargers will be missing some key players due to injuries, and that could play a factor in the result of this game.
