San Diego survived two close shaves last season as the Chargers overcame deficits against the Chiefs to win both meetings. Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes in the second half of the first matchup after the Bolts trailed 13-6. The Chiefs scored late, but a two-point conversion pass was broken up. In the contest at Kansas City, San Diego fell behind 21-3 in the third quarter but rallied as Rivers passed for two TDs in the fourth quarter, with the game-winner coming on a 10-yarder to Vincent Jackson with 36 seconds left. The Chargers don’t have to defend tight end Tony Gonzalez (three TD catches in 2008 vs. the Bolts and now with Atlanta) in this game, but they do have to avoid turning the ball over like they did against the Chiefs last season, when they committed five turnovers in the two contests. Both teams had sub-par running games in the opening weeks of this season, but Rivers, who averaged 331 passing yards per game against Kansas City last season, shouldn’t have any problem finding his receivers. Sunday’s game will be played on the road at Arrowhead Stadium at 10 a.m. The game will be televised on CBS. Noteworthy: The Chargers have won three straight and four of the last five against Kansas City. Prediction: Chargers 24, Chiefs 20
