The Chargers have not lost a December game since 2005.
The Kansas City Chiefs have not been defeated at home since 1997 to a team they lost to in their first meeting of a particular season.
So, something has to give Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
How about the Chiefs … barely?
If the Chargers lose, the Denver Broncos will be celebrating an AFC West championship before playing the Carolina Panthers later that afternoon.
Don’t count on it.
The Chiefs (2-11) are a great reminder of the Ryan Leaf-led Chargers who went 1-15 in 2000.
They seemingly always play just well enough to lose; coming close but not closing out the deal.
Kansas City has 19 rookies on its roster, which makes it a team of the future. And don’t be surprised if the Chiefs surpass the Chargers by 2010 … as long as Norv Turner is still coaching in San Diego.
Expect the Chargers to stay alive this week by winning and later having the Broncos lose. But don’t hold your breath the next week when the Chargers are at Tampa Bay and Denver is at home against Buffalo.
The champagne should be flowing in Denver in about a week.
Prediction:
Chargers 24, Chiefs 22

If Norv is here next year, KC will be better than the Chargers.
It sure looks like Kansas city does play just well enough to lose but keep it close. The Chargers need to just lose and close out any playoffs hopes and start cleaning house for next year. Good bye AJ Smith; good bye Norv. Have a nice life; we want to be winners as Charger fans.
