WATCH: Chiefs pull off tricky fake punt, convert on fourth down vs. Chargers

The #Chiefs used a fake punt to convert on a fourth down against the #Chargers in Week 18.

The Kansas City Chiefs resorted to trickery to keep a drive alive against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18.

Midway through the second quarter, the Chiefs’ offense stalled out on what seemed to be a promising sequence, and Andy Reid elected to send his punt unit out on fourth down.

Everything seemed normal until the ball was snapped and veteran running back La’Mical Perine took a carry for nine yards to get Kansas City back to first down.

Check out a video of the tricky conversion here:

While the Chiefs weren’t able to end this drive with a touchdown, they managed to march the ball near the goal line to set up kicker Harrison Butker with an easy field goal attempt.

Butker would nail his three-point try to give Kansas City a 10-point lead with a little over four minutes remaining before halftime.

Fans can expect Andy Reid to continue looking for unique ways to keep his offense on the field as the Chiefs rest their starters ahead of the AFC playoffs.
