LA Chargers:
Justin Herbert and the LA Chargers (8-4) are currently in second place in the AFC West and hold the first Wild Card spot in the conference, with a 2.5-game lead over the Indianapolis Colts. Last year, the Chargers won a total of just 5 games but in their first season under head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers are off to their best start since 2018.
The Chargers are coming off a 17-13 win over the Falcons, despite failing to score a single offensive touchdown and finishing with 187 yards of total offense—their fewest in a win since 2007. Cameron Dicker made all three field-goal attempts on Sunday, while CB Tarheeb Still scored a 61-yard touchdown off an interception.
Justin Herbert made history in the win despite completing a low 16-of-23 for 147 passing yards. He is now ranked second in NFL history, behind Peyton Manning, for the most passing yards by a player in their first five seasons.

Kansas City Chiefs:
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs became the first team to clinch a playoff berth after their 19-17 win against the Raiders on Black Friday. It was the 100th career win for Mahomes, who completed 26-of-46 for 306 passing yards with 1 passing touchdown. Mahomes is now tied with Tom Brady for the most wins by a starting quarterback in the first 8 seasons of his career.
RB Isiah Pacheco returned to action last Friday in his first game since fracturing his leg in Week 2 which required surgery. Pachecho finished with 7 carries for 44 yards in the win.
Kansas City has now won an NFL record 14 straight one-possession games, dating back to last season, and is 9-0 in one-score games this season.
The Chiefs have now reached the playoffs for the 10th straight season and a win against the Chargers on Sunday would give Kansas City its ninth straight AFC West division title.
