The Chargers (3-10) took over at their own 11 with 5 minutes left and moved quickly, three times converting on fourth down. But after getting to the 1-yard line, San Diego was called for a delay of game, making the potential tying play a much more difficult proposition.
"This is the story of our season, losing close games," said Rivers, who threw for 263 yards with an interception while dealing with the flu. "It was tough. We got down there,Cheap Seahawks Gear, had our chance."

The teams started trading punts throughout the first quarter as rain and wind lashed half-empty Arrowhead Stadium. When the Chiefs got something going, they watched as Frankie Hammond fumbled a punt return. And when the Chargers began to move the ball, penalties shut down their drive.
Kansas City finally took the lead in the second quarter when it began a drive at its own 4-yard line. Eight consecutive running plays netted three first downs, and sucked the entire San Diego defense up to the line of scrimmage. The Chiefs took advantage when Smith hit Albert Wilson on a quick slant route, and he out-ran Steve Williams for a 44-yard touchdown reception.

"They just kept on fighting to the very last play there," Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. "This team has a lot of fight in them. I'm proud of them for that. But this is about winning."
After taking over in the closing minutes and marching to the Kansas City goal line, Rivers threw incomplete twice on the final two plays of the game, allowing the Chiefs to escape with a 10-3 win — their seventh straight and a crucial one for their own AFC wild-card hopes.
Then, with the game on the line, the Chiefs made two of their biggest stops of the season.
Rivers was intercepted by Derrick Johnson on the Chargers' ensuing possession, and Kansas City had just enough time to get within range for a 40-yard field goal and a 10-0 halftime lead.
"You want the games to get bigger and bigger. You want them to be more meaningful," Smith said. "I think this team is responding well to that challenge."
