The 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs are rolling into Arrowhead Stadium today, fresh off an early bye week, and you already know what that means for division rival Los Angeles Chargers, who are sitting at a dismal 0-5.
Andy Reid’s Post-Bye Week Magic Is a Serious Problem
Seriously, folks, how do you even prepare for this? Andy Reid isn’t just good after a bye, he is historically good. The man clocks in at a ridiculous 22-5 record in games following a regular-season bye week. That’s not just a good streak; that’s the second-best record among *all* active NFL coaches! Only John Harbaugh, the New York Giants head coach, has a slightly better career mark at 15-3. So, yeah, the Chiefs, already 4-0, are getting their head coach back in action with a phenomenal track record for preparation. They are home for this one too. Good luck, Chargers.
The Chargers Are 0-5 and Walking Wounded
On the flip side, we have Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers. The guy’s looking for anything to turn their 0-5 season around, but man, their injury report is brutal. They’re missing right tackle Joe Alt, safety Derwin James, and their leading receiver, Tre Harris. All ruled out. Talk about being short-handed against a red-hot, rested Chiefs squad! It really feels like their entire season is gonna rest on quarterback Justin Herbert’s shoulders today. He’s gotta be an absolute superhero out there. And for Kansas City? Their defense needs to rise up, keep the pedal down, and make sure that “lowly Chargers’ offense” stays exactly that: lowly.
This is it for the Chargers, man. Can Justin Herbert pull off a miracle, or will Andy Reid’s Chiefs just keep on rolling, adding another win to that incredible post-bye record? We’ll see how it shakes out on CBS starting 3:25 p.m. at Arrowhead Stadium.
