Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy was his favorite target catching seven passes for 65 yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs defense held Joe Mixon to just 57 yards rushing.

The Los Angeles Chargers got a huge 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Justin Herbert was fantastic throwing for 284 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Gus Edwards rushed for just 68 yards, but he did find the end zone twice in the win. Rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey led all pass catchers with six catches for 87 yards.

Cortland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. combined for 8 catches for 112 yards. The Chargers will play the New England Patriots in week 17. The Broncos will take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Las Vegas Raiders snapped their ten-game losing streak with their 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers had eleven catches for 99 yards.
