Winless Chargers, most turnovers a game, visit unbeaten Chiefs

The winless Los Angeles Chargers (0-5), who give the ball away more than any NFL team, visit the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, October 18, at 4:25 PM ET.

Los Angeles gives the ball away 2.6 times a game and scores 16.8 points, 30th in the league. Kansas City turns it over 0.5 times a game, fourth-fewest, and averages 29.5 points, so each Chargers mistake meets an offense that cashes in.

The Chargers do hold one edge on defense: they allow 205 passing yards a game, sixth-fewest. The Chiefs' passing game ranks fourth in efficiency.

Kansas City also runs well, with 162.3 rushing yards a game, fourth in the league. Kenneth Walker III has 537 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Patrick Mahomes has nine touchdown passes and two interceptions in four starts. Justin Herbert has thrown seven interceptions in five starts, and the Chargers have lost all five games, none by fewer than six points.

The Chiefs have a pass-rush problem of their own: their 0.8 sacks a game are the fewest in the league. Los Angeles has been sacked 3.4 times a game, 30th, and its line is missing tackles Joe Alt and Isaiah World, both out.

The Chargers are also without leading receiver Tre' Harris and safety Derwin James Jr., both out. Linebacker Daiyan Henley, their leading tackler, is questionable. Kansas City lists wide receiver Rashee Rice and tackle Josh Simmons as out.

Sportsbooks' prices give the Chiefs a 77% chance to win and the Chargers 23%.
