Chiefs are coming off a 44-21 week one win over the Cardinals and the game wasn’t even that close. Patrick Mahomes and company enjoyed a 37-7 lead early in the third quarter and were able to ride that to victory.

Mahomes looked like he was already in midseason form, hitting running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire for two touchdowns in the first half and go on to throw for 223 yards and three scores in the first half alone. He finished with 360 yards and five touchdown passes. His number one target, tight end Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 121 yards and a touchdown.

The Chargers also began their 2022 campaign with a win, beating the Raiders a 24-19. Now L.A. will look to improve to 2-0 on the season as well as in their division. Justin Herbert took Vegas for 279 yards and three scores on 26-of-34 passing. While Herbert kept his offense in rhythm, L.A.’s main offseason acquisition dazzled on defense.

Khalil Mack came up with three sacks in his Chargers’ debut and showed now ill-effects from the foot injury that ended his season in week seven last year. The 31-year-old led a defense that came up with six sacks in total and picked off Derek Carr three times in the win.

Regardless of what happens on the field, this game will stream history as it marks the beginning of “Prime Video’s” exclusive coverage of Thursday Night Football. Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung will bring you all the action.

According to the Action Network the Chiefs are a 3.5 home favorite and -110 on the Money line.
