Chargers highlight: Kristian Fulton intercepts Patrick Mahomes

The Chargers defense is off to a great start.

The Chargers have forced a second turnover against the Chiefs.

Kansas City got the ball back after Los Angeles scored a touchdown on a Justin Herbert pass to Ladd McConkey to take advantage of a Carson Steele fumble. On the first play of their next drive, Patrick Mahomes dropped back and looked for tight end Travis Kelce, who had a 38 yard reception on Kansas City’s first drive.

Mahomes’ pass sailed on him, however, leaving an opportunity for cornerback Kristian Fulton to get under the ball and intercept it for the Chargers’ second turnover. Fulton returned the interception 29 yards to the Chiefs 20 before fumbling the ball, with safeties Alohi Gilman and AJ Finley fighting with Kansas City offensive linemen Wanya Morris and Creed Humphrey for the loose ball.

Initially, the referees ruled that Humphrey had recovered the ball, giving it back to Kansas City. After review, however, they determined that Finley had touched the ball while out of bounds, making it a dead ball and keeping it in the Chargers’ possession.

Los Angeles turned the pick into a 50 yard Cameron Dicker field goal that put the Chargers up 10-0.
