It\u2019s not just good luck when you have all-time greats in those spots.<\/p>\n<p>But this Chiefs streak in close games is still unbelievable. This time, they doinked in a field goal for the win.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs extended their NFL record by winning their 15th straight one-score game. The Los Angeles Chargers took a lead with less than five minutes remaining on Sunday night, but a Chiefs win seemed inevitable. Mahomes has come through in that situation so often we take it for granted, and he did it again with a long drive that ended with a game-winning, 31-yard field goal by Matthew Wright on the final play of the game. Wright didn\u2019t hit it great, but it hit the left upright and caromed in. The Chiefs won 19-17, and fans around the NFL wondered again how they keep pulling off victories like that every week.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 640px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-lightbox caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:67%\" data-lightbox-src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/kW2mWdhQX5..R_Mnrkp1ng--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTI0MDA7aD0xNjAw\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-12\/5f1e1fd0-b5e6-11ef-b3f9-1999d1d5c907\"><span class=\"caas-img-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) throws under pressure from Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley (0) during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024, in Kansas City, Mo.

They were down two key players to injury \u2014 running back J.K. Dobbins and receiver Ladd McConkey \u2014 and it showed. The Chargers also <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/justin-herbert-replaced-by-taylor-heinicke-after-hit-vs-chiefs-024048120.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:lost quarterback Justin Herbert briefly when he landed hard on a hit;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">lost quarterback Justin Herbert briefly when he landed hard on a hit<\/a>, and also tight end Will Dissly on the final play of the half.<\/p>\n<p>The Chargers were lacking anyone who could make a play around Herbert. But to start the second half, the offense woke up. Gus Edwards scored on a 3-yard touchdown and despite being outplayed through the first half, the Chargers trailed just 13-7 early in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The Chargers got a stop, pressuring Mahomes on a third-and-1 into throwing an incompletion, then a quick drive that ended with Herbert hitting Quentin Johnston for a touchdown. Suddenly the Chargers led 14-13 with 3:30 left in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>As with just about every other Chiefs game this season, Kansas City wasn\u2019t going to blow out its opponent.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"chiefs-chargers-trade-lead-in-4th-quarter\"><strong>Chiefs, Chargers trade lead in 4th quarter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Chiefs regained the lead in the fourth quarter on a field goal, but had a shot at more. On third-and-16 Mahomes found DeAndre Hopkins deep downfield, but Chargers defensive back Cam Hart arrived with the ball and put a big hit on Hopkins to knock the ball loose and incomplete. That came right after guard Trey Smith took a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty, which changed the situation from third-and-1 to third-and-16.<\/p>\n<p>That allowed the Chargers to come downfield and take the lead back. They got into Chiefs territory and kicked a field goal with 4:35 to go. Mahomes has overcome plenty of deficits in far less time than that to work with.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs seemed to be in some trouble but Mahomes made a great play on third down, contorting his body to get a pass downfield to Xavier Worthy for a first down. In most of the Chiefs\u2019 close wins, there\u2019s usually at least one play like that from Mahomes that not many other quarterbacks can make.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the game played out as many others in the Chiefs\u2019 streak. They methodically picked up some more first downs to bleed the clock. Mahomes made a defender miss and hit Travis Kelce on a big third down after the two-minute warning, and because the Chargers had used all their timeouts, the Chiefs could run out most of the rest of the clock and set up a field goal on the final play. Wright almost missed it but as usual, the Chiefs got the bounce they needed.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs weren\u2019t great the entire game, which has been a theme of their season. But when the Chiefs needed one drive to win it, they marched downfield as usual and got the game-winning points. It shouldn\u2019t be possible to win 15 straight one-score games.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-liveblog\" data-id=\"53b0c3ba-e21c-4cb0-9de1-34099483f975\" data-count=\"20\" data-polling-enabled=\"1\" data-maxfailureallowed=\"3\" data-postid-first=\"ac78db0b-df29-4963-89ec-b6c0c3a89456\" data-postid-last=\"6cbc7539-c024-42d7-81af-14cc7f882b18\" data-pagination-first-uuid=\"ac78db0b-df29-4963-89ec-b6c0c3a89456\" data-pagination-last-uuid=\"6cbc7539-c024-42d7-81af-14cc7f882b18\" data-refresh-delay=\"60000\" data-share-post-enabled=\"0\" data-share-url=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/live\/chargers-chiefs-shocker-patrick-mahomes-kc-pull-out-another-close-win-to-capture-afc-west-crown-000047753.html\" data-fetchby=\"older\" data-imagelightboxminimumwidth=\"700\" data-site=\"sports\" data-appid=\"sports_web\" data-region=\"US\" data-article-uuid=\"343a46e2-1ab1-4a65-a3d6-5625f4ca3de4\">\n<p><span class=\"caas-live-blog-section-badge isOver\" data-islive=\"0\">LIVE COVERAGE IS OVER<\/span><span class=\"caas-live-blog-section-badge-count\">32 updates<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"caas-liveblog-list\">\n<li class=\"caas-liveblogpost\" data-id=\"ac78db0b-df29-4963-89ec-b6c0c3a89456\" id=\"ac78db0b-df29-4963-89ec-b6c0c3a89456\" data-lmt=\"{\" utc=\"\" dec=\"\" gmt=\"\" december=\"\" at=\"\" pm=\"\" mst=\"\">\n<div class=\"liveblogposts-post\">\n<div class=\"post\">\n<div class=\"timeline-point  with-author-name\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2023-04\/ceb890e0-e550-11ed-bf7f-d541da207ed3\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"timestamp-byline\"><time class=\"timestamp-most-recent liveblogpost-relative-time\" data-timestamp=\"1733718288000\">Sun, December 8, 2024 at 9:24 PM MST<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-wrapper  with-author-name\">\n<div class=\"content-body\">\n<div class=\"content-block  with-author-name\">\n<h2 class=\"headline\">Final: Chiefs 19, Chargers 17<\/h2>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<p>The Chiefs have now won their ninth straight division title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chargers stats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Justin Herbert: 21-of-30 for 213 yards, 1 TD<\/p>\n<p>Gus Edwards: 36 yards, 1 TD on 10 carries<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Palmer: 78 yards on 6 receptions<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiefs stats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Patrick Mahomes: 24-of-37 for 210 yards, 1 TD<\/p>\n<p>Isiah Pacheco: 55 yards on 14 carries<\/p>\n<p>Travis Kelce: 45 yards on 5 catches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"caas-liveblogpost\" data-id=\"39479218-e8ee-4b23-be40-f9b43724ed86\" id=\"39479218-e8ee-4b23-be40-f9b43724ed86\" data-lmt=\"{\" utc=\"\" dec=\"\" gmt=\"\" december=\"\" at=\"\" pm=\"\" mst=\"\">\n<div class=\"liveblogposts-post\">\n<div class=\"post\">\n<div class=\"timeline-point  with-author-name\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2023-04\/ceb890e0-e550-11ed-bf7f-d541da207ed3\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"timestamp-byline\"><time class=\"timestamp-most-recent liveblogpost-relative-time\" data-timestamp=\"1733718159000\">Sun, December 8, 2024 at 9:22 PM MST<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-wrapper  with-author-name\">\n<div class=\"content-body\">\n<div class=\"content-block  with-author-name\">\n<h2 class=\"headline\">&#8220;The doink for the division!&#8221;<\/h2>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<p>Matthew Wright banks in the game-winner from 31 yards out!
