It took until the final seconds of the game, but the Kansas City Chiefs managed to hold off AFC West rivals the Los Angeles Chargers to take home a needed victory in Mexico City. Thanks to a late interception from Daniel Sorenson, Andy Reid’s men are back on top of the division and still in serious conversations for a Super Bowl appearance.
As Chiefs Kingdom breathes a sigh of relief, here are the best tweets from Kansas City’s 24-17 win against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Injuries aplenty
First, it was Tyreek Hill, then it was Austin Reiter, then it was Jordan Lucas, then it was Damien Williams and the list goes on. The Chiefs could not escape injuries Monday night, and now it leaves more questions than hope about the team’s fitness.
The #Chiefs Tyreek Hill just can’t avoid the injury bug. What did he ever do to deserve such bad luck?

The Mahomes-Kelce connection that broke the internet
Up until the five-minute mark in the third quarter, tight end Travis Kelce was largely silent, with the exception of a few great plays here and there. However, it was the 23-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes that put him back conversation of who was the biggest playmaker of the evening.
It was only a matter of time. @PatrickMahomes connects with @tkelce for a 23-yard @Chiefs TD!#ChiefsKingdom | #MexicoGame2019 | @nflmx

Biggest takeaways:
-Pat is clutch when it matters
-Frank Clark and Chris Jones are good at football
-Mecole Hardman is fast
-Travis Kelce is going to the Hall of Fame
-This team still needs more discipline. Could've been undefeated still with discipline

Daniel Sorenson saves Chiefs from another embarrassing loss.
Safety Daniel Sorenson had his fair share of struggles on Monday. However, it was his interception off a bad throw from Philip Rivers that he will be remembered for, especially because he saved the Chiefs from not only another tragic loss but also prevented the Oakland Raiders from going top of the table in the AFC West.
The chargers picked on Daniel Sorenson all night, and then Dirty Dan PICKED on them! #ChiefsKingdom #KCvsLAC

You could not convince me that Daniel Sorenson belongs on an NFL field. #KCvsLAC

The Chiefs are on a much-deserved bye week before hosting the Raiders in another contentious AFC West matchup on December 1.
