After two straight losses, the San Diego Chargers find themselves way behind in the AFC West division. They look to avoid hitting rock bottom against the Kansas City Chiefs (1-5) on Sunday. The Chargers (2-3) hoped a bye week would help them fix their defensive struggles that led to a 38-28 loss at Pittsburgh on October 4, but the stumbling Bolts had another terrible game against the undefeated Broncos in a 34-23 loss on Monday night. San Diego won their last four games of the season last year and managed to win it’s third straight AFC West championship with a 8-8 record. But the Bolts can not record a .500 record and expect to make the postseason this year since Denver (6-0) are in first place in the division and the Chargers are closer to last-place Kansas City (1-5). Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers told the press “I know it doesn’t look good right now but we can still bounce back.” In 2008-09, the Chargers only one by one point in both of their contests against the Chiefs, which went 2-14. KC ended a nine game losing streak last Sunday with a 14-6 victory over the Washington Redskins. The Chiefs’ next challenge is to avoid a third consecutive home loss to the Chargers, something that has not happened since 1979-81.
