The Chargers hit the road coming off two straight wins as they travel to Kansas City for an AFC West battle.
The Bolts will face the Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 15. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (PT).
Here are three players to watch on Sunday:
1. WR Keenan Allen
There’s no player on the Chargers that knows the environment in Kansas City quite like the veteran wide receiver.
Sunday will be Allen’s eighth game to Arrowhead Stadium, a place he last played in during the 2023 season.
And he figures to be a factor in the pass game in his first trip back since.
The 33-year-old has enjoyed a solid return to the Chargers, leading the team with 63 receptions and ranking second with 644 receiving yards.
He has also made some history in the process, becoming the 16th player in NFL history to record 1,000 career catches and the fastest to do so in 159 games.
Allen also set the Chargers all-time receptions mark earlier this season.
But he also continues to do what he’s always done — move the chains.
Allen ranks 10th among all receivers in the league with 40 first downs as he’s been a valuable piece for Justin Herbert and the offense on key downs.
In another trip to Kansas City, the veteran receiver could make himself a factor once again in this critical AFC West showdown.
“He’s one of the best to ever do it,” Herbert said about Allen earlier in the year. “We are so lucky to have him on our team as a leader, as a teammate and as a receiver.
“He finds a way to get open and that’s what he’s done over his career,” Herbert added.
