Chargers aim to dominate the trenches and run the Chiefs off the field, leaning on a bully-ball approach while Justin Herbert uses his legs to spark early drives. Khalil Mack must assert himself with relentless pressure, and Derwin James plus Deion Henley plan to erase Travis Kelce in key moments. Special teams could swing field position with Darius Davis, and Keenan Allen or a ground game finish drives early. Upset potential hinges on discipline, clock control, and a late defensive stop.
