3 big moments from Chargers vs. Chiefs
Summing up the Chargers’ 23-20 defeat to Kansas City
Summing up the U-T San Diego's Chargers vs. Chief conversation in three hits.
1 -- Chargers cornerback Brandon Flowers didn't last long against his former team.
In his first outing against his former team, Brandon Flowers hit Jamaal Charles so hard in the second quarter that he gave himself a concussion.
To add insult to injury, Charles scored the touchdown anyway, and on that run, became the Chiefs' all-time leading rusher.
Meanwhile, Flowers was initially cleared to go back into the game after the team doctor examined him, but he was later taken out of the game for good and diagnosed with a concussion.

2 -- The Chargers' defense just couldn't get off the field.
Not even with the Chiefs' receivers trying to help them by dropping key passes and running out of bounds with no one between them and the end zone.
3 -- Rookie kicker becomes Chiefs' hero
Everyone still remembers how Ryan Succop's unsuccessful 41-yard field goal attempt at the end of regulation last December kept San Diego's playoff hopes alive right?
Sorry Chargers' fans. New season, new Chiefs kicker. New narrative. Watch here, if you can bear to. Rookie Cairo Santos' 48-yard field goal held up as the game-winner.
