One was a fumble, the other was a 56-yard field goal. Those were the nails in the coffin for the Chiefs and Chargers respectively as they both suffered last second heart break in week two to drop to (1-1) on the season.
After allowing two fourth quarter touchdown drives, the Chiefs trailed the Ravens by a point. Patrick Mahomes and their offense trotted back onto the field with 3:14 left in the game. The Chiefs would move the football 41 yards in a minute and half and looked to be positioning themselves for at least the game winning field goal. That’s when it happened. Mahomes handed the ball off to running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire who ran up the middle and fumbled the football and any shot of a win away to the Ravens.
The loss spoiled another great performance by Mahomes who completed 24-of-his-31 passes for 343 yards and three touchdowns. It’s the second straight week, the Chiefs’ signal caller threw for over 300 yards with three scores. Travis Kelce was his favorite target with a team-high seven catches for 109 yards and a touchdown.
While the Chiefs suffered heartbreak, so did the Chargers. Los Angeles fought back from a 14-3 first quarter deficit against the Cowboys to tie things up at 14 in the third quarter and again at 17 in the fourth quarter. With 3:34 left in the game, Dak Prescott would lead an 11 play, 46-yard drive that was capped off with a 56-yard field goal as time expired, handing the Chargers their first loss of the season.

You can get your local CBS network's NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.
The NFL game broadcast rights have stayed similar season over season. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, FOX has the NFC games, NBC has Sunday Night Football and some Thursday night football, while ESPN has Monday Night Football. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year.
So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
Sling TV doesn't have CBS (not without AirTV at least), so while that's one of our favorite services, it's not ideal for football fans.
Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with CBS, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.
Paramount Plus has your local CBS station's live feed and the deep library includes Survivor and Big Brother episodes, as well as originals like Star Trek: Picard, The Good Fight and the iCarly revival. You need a Premium membership to watch the Emmys.
NFL Sunday Ticket: This game is included in NFL Sunday Ticket, which is available even if you don't have DirecTV.
