Chiefs and Chargers Clash in Brazil as Kansas City Eyes 8th Straight Win
Hey, let me tell you about a pretty exciting NFL matchup happening right now. The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, and it’s drawing a lot of attention because Kansas City is chasing their eighth consecutive victory over the Chargers. This game is being highlighted not just for the teams’ history, but also for its international flair—this marks the second time these division rivals are playing overseas. The first was back in 2019 in Mexico City, which the Chiefs won 24-17. Now, the Chargers are making history by becoming the first NFL franchise to play on five different continents.
Kansas City enters this matchup with a solid 17-3 record and has dominated the Chargers in recent years. Their last meeting in December 2024 saw the Chiefs narrowly edge the Chargers 19-17. The Chiefs’ defense is one of the league’s best, ranked fourth overall last season, and it will be tested against the Chargers’ running game, which is highlighted by rookie Omarion Hampton, known for his speed and power. To reinforce their defensive line, the Chiefs recently traded to bring back Derrick Nnadi after a less-than-stellar preseason showing.

Offensively, the Chiefs will be leaning heavily on WR Marquise Brown, who missed almost all of last season with a shoulder injury, and second-year receiver Xavier Worthy, especially since star receiver Rashee Rice is suspended for the first game. Travis Kelce, of course, is a player to watch; he holds the franchise record for receptions and is just three touchdowns shy of tying the Chiefs’ all-time record. QB Patrick Mahomes is averaging over 270 passing yards and more than two touchdowns per game against the Chargers, so expect the passing game to be pivotal.
