Chiefs Already Catch Huge Break Ahead of Week 4 With Surprise Chargers Injury…See More π
The Kansas City Chiefs are 2-0 and are looking to pick up their third straight win as they travel to play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football.
The Chiefs have secured two wins within the AFC thus far but in Week 3, this will be the first road game of the 2024 campaign.
A big rule in the NFL is to never look ahead but instead focus on the opponent in front of you. Players on the roster can have that mindset. As fans of the game, we can look down the road and take a peep at the Chiefs Week 4 matchup.
Kansas City will be going on the road to play the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC West contest on Sept. 29.
One star player on the Chargers is dealing with an injury that will hinder him in the divisional bout in Week 4.

NFL News: Justin Herbert Dealing with High-Ankle Sprain
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 2 vs. the Carolina Panthers.
There is optimism that Herbert will play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers but high-ankle sprains can take several months to fully heal.
When speaking with reporters on Friday, Herbert said the pain in his ankle is “not great.” Even if he does play in Week 3, it’ll be a pain tolerance thing going forward.
That is music to the ears of the Chiefs faithful. Herbert is 2-5 in his career against the Chiefs, including four straight losses.
Despite the losses, the Oregon product has been productive against Kansas City. He’s completed 66% of his throws for 2,003 passing yards with 16 passing touchdowns and six interceptions.
But dealing with an ankle injury, Herbert’s mobility will be limited. And that could spell great things for a defensive front led by Chris Jones.
