The Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers are squaring off in an AFC West match up. This was a stacked division last season with the Chiefs and the Broncos leading the way, sending three teams to the playoffs.

The fortunes have been a bit reversed this year with the Chargers leading the way in the division.

The Chiefs look good against the Chargers early on, and running back Jamaal Charles had an incredible run to get the tying score early in the second quarter. It was a Madden like goal that saw him dashing and cutting all across the field before making his way into the end zone.

Unfortunately when he got there he was greeted by Chargers cornerback Brandon Flowers, who laid a vicious hit on Charles that sent him airborne.

Charles held onto the ball though.
