The Chiefs lose Rashee Rice, get a big game from Kareem Hunt and beat the Chargers

The Chiefs lost their No. 1 receiver and found their new No. 1 running back — who also happens to be their old No. 1 running back.

Kareem Hunt had an important game for the Chiefs today, catching 14 balls for 69 yards and also catching two passes for 16 yards, giving the Chiefs a tough 17-10 win.

The bad news for the Chiefs is that they lost their No. 1 receiver, Rashee Rice, to a knee injury. Although no formal diagnosis has been announced, coach Andy Reid said it doesn’t look good.

More bad news is that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes doesn’t play like the Patrick Mahomes we’ve come to know. The Chiefs continue to win, but Mahomes is putting up mediocre numbers – 19 for 29 for 245 yards with a touchdown and an interception today.

The struggling Chargers did what they could and made it competitive, but in the end they fell short, losing 2-2.

The Chiefs are 4-0. They’re not playing their best football but they keep winning.
