KANSAS CITY Womens Harrison Butker Jersey , Mo. 鈥?Eric Berry made his long-awaited return to the field, Chris Jones piled up some more sacks to match an NFL record and the Kansas City Chiefs‘ maligned defense finally looked like a dominant force for a while.Or at least, one that wouldn’t hold back their high-powered offense.But all that was wiped away in just more than three minutes Thursday night, when Philip Rivers engineered a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback for the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs did their part with blown assignments and penalties, and rather than clinch the AFC West title and a first-round playoff bye, they left Arrowhead Stadium with a 29-28 loss and the very real possibility of hitting the road for the postseason.Their defense again had let them down.“We’ve got to finish. Ain’t no differences. We beat ourselves. That’s how I feel,” Chiefs linebacker Reggie Ragland said. “Only thing that can stop us is us, and we beat ourselves.”Not at the start, when Berry returned from a heel injury that had kept him out since the opening weeks of training camp. Steven Nelson intercepted Rivers’ pass on the second play of the game, Kendall Fuller picked off another throw in the end zone late in the first half and Berry was back in the middle of just about everything as he energized a raucous crowd that braved freezing temperatures.Jones finished with 2 1/2 sacks Daniel Sorensen Jersey , tying an NFL mark with at least one in 10 straight games.But the plan all along was for Berry to play only a certain amount of snaps, and the Chiefs stuck to it by sitting him most of the second half. And while it might have been purely coincidence, that was when Los Angeles finally hit its stride on offense.After trailing the entire way, and still facing a 28-14 hole with 3:49 to go, Rivers led his team on a drive that fill-in running back Justin Jackson capped with a touchdown. And when the Chargers’ own defense took the field, they did their job by quickly getting the ball back.Rivers started the deciding drive with a 31-yard strike to Travis Benjamin, then hit him again moments later to convert on fourth down. The Chiefs still had a chance to hold the Chargers, but Fuller was called for pass interference to give Los Angeles the ball just outside the end zone.Mike Williams hauled in a touchdown pass with 4 seconds to go. And when it was confirmed by video review, Chargers coach Anthony Lynn sent his team out for a 2-point conversion and the win.The KC defense had one more chance to make a stop, but nobody was within 10 yards of Williams as he made the catch and raced up the field to celebrate.“It’s definitely tough. Any time you get so close and come up short http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-terrance-smith-jersey , it’s tough, especially when you know how hard the guys you’ve been putting in the work with,” Chiefs linebacker Dorian O’Daniel said. “It’s frustrating, obviously, but it’s part of the game.”Even more frustrating given what was at stake.The Chiefs (11-3) could have clinched their third consecutive AFC West crown, something the club has never accomplished, along with a first-round playoff bye. And they could have earned home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs if Pittsburgh were to knock off New England on Sunday.Instead, their games at Seattle and home against Oakland have taken on real importance.“If you narrow it down, it was both sides of the ball,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “We were in great position to get off the field. We didn’t. We extended a lot of those drives with penalties Womens Travis Kelce Jersey , right or wrong. They’re done. So we’ve got to do better. We’re not making any excuses.”100View Gallery Gallery:View from the sidelines: NFL cheerleaders 2018Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports | Raj Mehta SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Getting a Twitter follow from Travis Kelce was one of the major accomplishments this season for San Francisco 49ers second-year tight end George Kittle.Now heading into the final game of the season, Kittle is in a battle for Kelce in a race for the most productive season ever for a tight end.Kelce goes into Kansas City’s season finale against Oakland with 1,274 yards receiving, the fourth-most ever for a tight end. He needs 54 yards against the Raiders to break the mark set by New England’s Rob Gronkowski in 2011.But Kelce might need more than that to hold off Kittle, who goes into San Francisco’s finale against the Los Angeles Rams with 1,228 yards on the season and a chance to pass not only Gronkowski but also Kelce with a big game.Kelce and Kittle have put up their huge numbers this season in very different ways. Kelce is more a downfield threat, with his average catch coming 7.5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, a number comparable to some of the most productive receivers in the league like Antonio Brown and Michael Thomas.Kittle does most of his work after the catch, gaining an average of 9.8 yards after making the catch — a number surpassed only by four running backs who make their average catch in the backfield.Kittle has 775 yards in all after the catch De'Anthony Thomas Jersey , trailing only Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey with 824. The only other players since at least 2010 with more yards after the catch in a season are Le’Veon Bell (816 in 2014) and Matt Forte (788 in 2014).“The thing he is doing better, that I can say he has done better than any tight end I have had, is what he is doing after the catch,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “He does a good job beating man coverage, and does a good job in his routes and does a great job blocking. But when that ball is in the air, the play is just starting. He is trying to catch it. He runs angry and runs confidently, that he expects to score on every look.”
