KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Los Angeles Chargers had managed to have one of the NFL's worst second-half offenses coming into Sunday's game, and they hadn't scored a touchdown since Week 12. That changed Sunday as they quickly closed a 13-point Kansas City Chiefs lead with their first two second-half drives to take the lead 14-13 in the third quarter.

Wide receiver Quentin Johnston caught the next touchdown from Justin Herbert, giving Johnston a team-high seven TDs on the season. The Chargers' 14 points in the third quarter represented their highest total in the third this season.
