The AFC West's marquee showdown will take place in Sunday's NFL Week 7 action, as the Los Angeles Chargers make the trip to GEHA Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chargers (2-3) had a golden chance to record a statement win against the Dallas Cowboys, but they once again fell short in a narrow three-point defeat. All three losses for Los Angeles this season have been a narrow affair, so Brandon Staley's talented side will be hoping for things to turn in their favor.
As for the Chiefs (5-1), they just want to keep marching on and are hoping to land a couple of early victories in their run through their division rivals as they eye an eighth consecutive division title. The defending Super Bowl champions weren't hugely impressive in a prime-time game Thursday in Week 6, but still cruised to a 19-8 victory against the Denver Broncos.
