Chiefs at Chargers - Week 4 - Record: 4-0

Here's a good rule that is never followed because everybody thinks the quarterback should not sulk after throwing a pick and should actually be out there trying to tackle the interceptor.

The rule: Don't have your quarterback try to tackle the guy who just intercepted his pass.

First of all if your super-valuable QB (::cough cough:: Patrick Mahomes ::cough cough::) is out there trying to make tackles no matter how much he caused the conditions for said tackling attempt, he could so easily get injured. The pick-six he gave up this one time is not worth the dozen touchdowns he's not getting for you in future games because he got foolishly injured trying to make some weird tackle.

It isn't as if he can't make some attempt to at least look like he is getting in his way or just get off the mat and look like he is running interference of some kind, but he really should be thinking much more seriously about staying out of harm's way.

Second of all your super-valuable QB may be super-good at throwing the ball for many touchdowns, but he's probably a klutz trying to make some beast tackle as if he were some boss strong safety. 

Such was the case today when Mahomes tried to kneecap the interceptor and he ended up kneecapping his best receiver as he was trying to tackle the interceptor.

And by kneecap, we mean kneecap.

As it is they are saying Rashee Rice may have torn his ACL, and if that's the case, he's done for the year.

Yikes.

It is weird because we thought we'd be without his services for some time anyway because of his drag-race driving incident earlier in the year. So yeah, we can't get Hollywood Brown out there any sooner.

As far as the game went, the Chargers looked pretty hapless out there for most of it. Their only touchdown came when their QB Justin Herbert was hammered and just before the hit flung the ball to the back of the end zone that their receiver just managed to stick his hands out to grab.

Otherwise for the most part our D had its way with these guys. Chris Jones was unstoppable. Spags' D plan made for a ferocious attack the Chargers had no answer for. And we should give a shout-out to our punter Matt Araiza who continuously flipped the field forcing the Chargers into long tiring drives any time they had the ball.

And for the offense it did get the job done with a number of contributors. It was especially nice to see Xavier Worthy get that nice long bomb touchdown catch as well as watching Kareem Hunt do very good work for us reminding us of what he gave us seven years ago.
