The Chargers were in need of a victory in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, but instead, quarterback Philip Rivers was unable to guide his team and is at fault for their gut-wrenching loss to the Chiefs.
Rivers struggled to take care of the football, finishing the game with four interceptions. His turnovers were what cost Los Angeles from winning in primetime.
With the loss, the Bolts are now sitting at 4-7, and their shot at the postseason is now nearly nonexistent.
Here’s a look at Twitter following the Chargers’ 24-17 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night:

Phillip Rivers has turned into a turnover machine maybe he always were. His play is what’s hurting the Chargers

If the Chargers can lose out, maybe they can get a decent draft pick, new GM, and new coaching staff. Too bad there's nothing they can do to get a new owner.

I really can't imagine anything worse than being a Chargers fan

Phillip Rivers has started every game for the Chargers for 14 straight years of how-the-heck-did-they-lose-that-game, sometimes his fault most of the time not, and I don’t think he’s ever had a teammate or coach say a bad word about him. He’s probably done, but his legacy is gold

Right now, Philip Rivers is holding the #Chargers back. It's sad to say that for such a great player. But it's the truth.

Philip Rivers just threw for nearly twice as many yards as Mahomes, threw the Chargers into position to tie or win … and threw his FOURTH interception, the game-ender in the end zone. So Rivers. Great career stats. No ring.

These last two weeks hurt for one reason.
The Chargers came to play, they fought hard for the playoffs. And they dominated overall.
And Philip Rivers blew it. My Quarterback blew it. And that hurts my heart.

Philip Rivers needs to be cancelled. It’s over for him.#Chargers

I don’t see how the Chargers can bring back Philip Rivers next year. But I also think the only reason anyone cares about the Chargers is Philip Rivers. Tough spot to be in. At least the Chargers have lots of fans in LA.

The #Chargers may not want to admit it, but at 4-7 and seeing Philip Rivers play recently — 4 TDs to 8 INTs in the last four games — they’re in the running for a top-10 pick in 2020.
QB?? 🤔

Thank you San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers for dropping Drew Brees for Phil Rivers. He gives it away like candy year in and year out.
Signed, #Chiefs fans everywhere
