3 reasons why the LA Chargers should beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15

The LA Chargers took care of business in Week 14 against the New York Giants and now head into the biggest game of the season on a short week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bolts host the Chiefs on Thursday Night Football and the fate of the AFC West is likely going to be determined on Thursday night.

The Chargers would need to win out and the Chiefs would have to lose two of the last three. That is not going to happen, thus showing why this game is so important.
