Both teams head into this match-up with big wins in Week 13. The Chargers flew cross-country to Atlanta and downed the Falcons thanks to an excellent defensive performance. The Chiefs triumphed at home on Black Friday, thanks to a last-minute error from the Las Vegas Raiders that preserved Kansas City's perfect home record.

At 11-1, the Chiefs are in pole position for the AFC's number one playoff seed but they cannot afford to ease up. The Buffalo Bills are on the warpath.

The Chargers currently hold the fifth seed in the AFC. Per the NFL, a Chargers win in this game will give LA a 99% chance of qualifying for the playoffs. However, the Chargers have injury issues to overcome before kick-off for this matchup. Influential wideout Ladd McConkey is questionable, while linebacker Denzel Perryman is doubtful. The good news for Los Angeles is defensive back Elijah Molden is off the injury report.
