The Chargers took a 10–0 lead in the first quarter. However, that would be their only points scored of the game, as the Commanders rallied back with a powerful run attack and strong defense to score 27 unanswered points, sealing the upset loss for the Chargers. They fell to 3–2, and suffered their first home loss to the Commanders since 1986, when they were based in San Diego and the Commanders were known as the Redskins.[13]
Wide receiver Keenan Allen recorded his 1,000th career reception, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach the milestone. He achieved the mark in his 159th game, surpassing Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, who previously held the record at 167 games.[14]

With two minutes left in the game and the Chiefs driving into Chargers territory with a chance to tie, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee, later revealed to be a torn ACL, and was quickly ruled out. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew took over and, on a game-deciding play, threw an interception to Derwin James, sealing the Chargers’ win.[21]
With the victory, the Chargers swept the Chiefs for the first time since the 2013 season, eliminated Kansas City from playoff contention for the first time since the 2014 season, and became the first AFC West team since the 2014 Broncos to sweep the Chiefs.[22][23]

The Chargers struggled against the Texans, and although they attempted a comeback, a potential turning point was negated by an illegal contact penalty by Tarheeb Still on a third-and-9 play in which Texans quarterback C. J. Stroud was sacked. The penalty allowed Houston to retain possession and ultimately hold on to the win.
With the loss, and the Broncos win over the Chiefs, the Chargers finished 1–3 against the AFC South (6–3 at home) and they failed to clinch the AFC West for the 16th straight year. [25]
