San Diego Chargers Defeat Kansas City Chiefs, 37-20

The San Diego Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs to remain first in the AFC West heading into New Orleans next week.

Jackie Battle Scores 2nd Touchdown Against Former Team

Jackie Battle killed the Chargers as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs last season. Today, he is killing the Chiefs as a member of the San Diego Chargers.

With 7 minutes left in the 4th Quarter, Battle has 74 yards and 2 touchdowns, including the catch above, on 18 touches.

Chargers Force Sixth Chiefs Turnover, Score TD

Just when things were going in the Chiefs direction, Shaun Draughn (yes, that's his real name) fumbled away the Chiefs 6th turnover of the game.

Following the turnover, the Chargers were finally able to move the ball with Ryan Mathews and scored a TD on a pass to Jackie Battle. They now lead 34-13 over the Chiefs.

Chargers have a 27-13 lead heading into the 4th quarter, but their offense has looked terrible in the 2nd half.

Matt Cassel Throws 3rd Interception of First Half

This one, unlike the first two, seems to be just as much on the receiver (Dexter McCluster) as it is Matt Cassel. Still, not a great play for a Chiefs fan that is trying desperately to come back from a 21 point Chargers lead.

The Chargers have forced 5 Chiefs turnovers and have a 27-6 lead at halftime.

Donald Butler Intercepts Cassel, Runs for Touchdown

We all know Donald Butler is a great Linebacker that can do it all, but it's still very pleasing to see him being great and doing it all. This interception and defensive touchdown put the Chargers up 27-6 in the 2nd quarter and took the wind out of the Chiefs sails.

Jamaal Charles Runs for Ridiculous Touchdown

Yikes. I guess that's going to happen sometimes when you're going up against Jamaal Charles. Good thing it happened when the Chargers were already up 20-0.

The Chiefs blew the Extra Point attempt and trail the Chargers 20-6.

Chat along with other fans of the San Diego Chargers as they protect a 17-0 lead over the Chiefs after the first quarter.

Jamaal Charles Fumbles Near Chiefs Own Endzone

Wondering how the Chargers built a 17-0 lead against the Chiefs so quickly? Jamaal Charles fumbling on his own 10 (and having the ball bounce backwards) is one reason. The Chargers turned this into a 1 yard TD run by Jackie Battle.

Eric Weddle Intercepts Matt Cassel in the First Quarter

After scoring a Touchdown on their first drive, the Chargers picked off Matt Cassel on the Chiefs' first drive and are currently driving towards another score.

Eddie Royal's First Touchdown Catch as a San Diego Charger

This catch, putting the Chargers up 7-0 over the Chiefs, came after a long drive where Eric Berry picked up two Pass Interference penalties while trying to defend Antonio Gates.

San Diego Chargers Inactives 9/30: Gaither Will Play

Jared Gaither is officially active for Chargers. Inactives: Kaeding, Taylor, Wright, Brinkley, Mouton, Garay and Green.

• Looks like Brinkley gets to ride the bench this week instead of Ronnie Brown, which is odd.
• Another healthy scratch for Antonio Garay. I'm certain that he must be feeling a certain way again this week.
• Jared Gaither is active!! Would they make him active as a backup/emergency Left Tackle? Maybe. However, there's still a good chance (a better one now) that Gaither starts this game at LT.
