Let’s check the teams for the game Chiefs vs Chargers of Monday Night Football for your NFL Betting.
Chiefs vs Chargers NFL 2019 Week 11
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers lost the game 24-26 against the Oakland Raiders in a divisional match. If someone played bad, it was their quarterback Philip Rivers. Rivers is the quarterback that has thrown more yards so far this year, with 2816 yards. It turns out that this is not an indication of a good season. Rivers had three interceptions – and could have been five – against the third worst NFL team by air defense. Not only that, the last interception occurred with 20 seconds on the clock when the Chargers were looking for a field goal to be able to defeat Oakland.
It is well known that Rivers is not the kind of player you can rely on important moments, but against Oakland it has been one of the worst performances to be remembered.
However, the ground game of the Chargers is a way where they can have better results. Melvin Gordon had 108 ground yards against the Raiders and Austin Ekeler is a great second choice by that route.
Faced with a ground defense as weak as that of the Chiefs, they can search success by that.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs arrived week 10 excited regarding the return of their star quarterback and MVP of the league, Patrick Mahomes. However, and despite a great performance by Mahomes (446 yards, 3 TDs), the Chiefs saw how a blocked field goal attempt left them with one more defeat in their columns, this time against the Tennessee Titans 35-32.
This is the fourth defeat of Kansas City (same amount they had last season) and again their big problem is their ground defense. It is the second worst in the NFL as exposed by the Tennessee Titans. Derrick Henry had 188 yards and two touchdowns. While Henry is talented, the reality is that the Chiefs can’t stop anyone.
Under their premise of making more points that the ones they receive, they failed against the Titans and that is a big concern. It is a very risky lifestyle for the Chiefs. They rely so much on their offensive talent that they are fragile in defense.
Having brought Steve Spagnuolo as a defensive coordinator and changing many of his defensive line personnel has not really worked.
The Chiefs are still a team with championship aspirations that can give its fans an epic game, but they have very large holes in their defensive side and the Chargers have the weapons to exploit them.
