Chiefs kick their way to victory at SoFi. Let’s talk about it

Just another ho-hum victory for the Chiefs on Sunday? Uh, no. Playing the Los Angeles Chargers in the team’s first game in its new home, the $5 billion SoFi Stadium, the Chiefs got off a slow start and fell behind by 11 points in the second half. But as they did throughout last season’s Super Bowl run they battled back. This time, forcing overtime before taking the 23-20 triumph.Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was clutch and his long touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill and two-point conversion toss to Mecole Hardman in the fourth quarter go on his highlight reel.But the game’s hero was kicker Harrison Butker, who booted three field goals, including a 58 yarder to win the game. It was his second 58 yard field goal of the contest. That distances matched the team record.After the game, the Chiefs coverage team of Sam Mellinger, Vahe Greorgian, Sam McDowell, Herbie Teope and Pete Grathoff joined SportsBeat Live host Blair Kerkhoff and breaking down the game’s highs and lows.
