Kansas City dismantled the Cardinals in Arizona last week behind a league-best 360 passing yards and five touchdowns from Patrick Mahomes. This quelled any concerns of how Andy Reid and company with fare after trading away Tyreek Hill in the offseason.
Andy Reid found success by distributing the ball among multiple players. Mahomes had completed passes to nine different teammates in the first half of the team's blowout win.
Meanwhile, Brandon Staley's Chargers come off of a 24-19 road victory against the Raiders. Behind another solid outing from QB Justin Herbert, LA did just enough to keep Derek Carr and the Raiders from mounting a successful comeback in Las Vegas.
Four of the last five meetings between these two AFC West rivals have gone over 52 points, so there should be plenty of fireworks. This is the first NFL game to be available exclusively on a streaming platform, so it should be a memorable contest on multiple fronts.
Kansas City enters Week 2 as four-point favorites and the over/under is set at a whopping 54 points. This game certainly doesn't look like another boring Thursday Night tilt.
There should be plenty of points scored and that means a ton of fantasy football ramifications.
