Chargers vs. Chiefs: Inactive List

Charles ran for 364 yards and four touchdowns in four-plus games last season. For those who starts Maclin this week needs to pray for the Chargers to bring their A-game, as the WR1 averaged 95.8 yards in KC's losses previous year (60.9 yards in wins).

For a while, it looked like the Chiefs' recent history of season-opening blowouts would continue on Sunday, as the Chargers led by 21 points midway through the third quarter. Even though the Chiefs lost DB Eric Berry, they still have one of the best front sevens in the entire National Football League and could very well improve on their strong defensive totals when all is said and done at the end of the year.

In the fourth quarter of the game as the Chiefs were attempting to make a comeback from a 24-3 deficit, Maclin took a heavy hit and was forced to leave the game.

One negative to the first half: The Chargers used all three of their timeouts in the first 16 minutes. Without him, the Chiefs will turn to Charcandrick West, Spencer Ware and Knile Davis. On the defensive side of the ball, the big story is defensive end Joey Bosa.

The Chargers will need to find a way to pressure Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith better to pull off what would be an early-season upset.

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (2015: 4-12): Philip Rivers put up huge passing numbers last season, mostly out of necessity, as the Chargers ranked 31st in the league in rushing and found themselves playing from behind more often than not.

Kansas City travels to meet Houston next Sunday.

The 49ers lost the first five games of the season, their offense ranked 24th in the league, and head coach Mike Singletary was sacked before the end of the season.

Pederson - whose hiring by the Eagles resulted in the Chiefs' restructuring of their offensive coordinator position - claimed he was in charge of the much-maligned offensive drive against New England.

Kansas City is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on grass while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 3-1-1 in their last 5 vs. the AFC West. The game, to be played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City is slated for a 1:00 p.m. ET start time and will be broadcast on CBS. "Now you take it up to that next level, and I think these guys WILL take it up to the next level". Could Sunday really be the day they win an AFC West game? Hali participated on a limited basis most of training camp after his knee surgery, while Berry skipped all four preseason games while refusing to sign his franchise tender. "But I do think our expectation is to win the division".
