The Bolts did come up short against the Chiefs in that historic game 24-17 so maybe it's a good thing that they did not get scheduled to run it back this year.
It's already been rumored that LA will likely take on Kansas City, who just won the Super Bowl last season, in the first week of 2023 so even if they have to go to their house, it will be less traveling on their end.
