KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs' Melvin Ingram correctly called the pre-game coin flip against his former team Thursday night. He then did the same trick at the beginning of overtime.
That gave Kansas City the ball, and Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce did the rest, driving for the winning touchdown in a victory over the Chargers that kept them in first place in the AFC West.
The Chiefs are now a half-game ahead of New England and Tennessee, both of whom play this weekend, for the best record in the AFC.
Perhaps more importantly, they now have a two-game edge on the Chargers in the division race.
