How to Watch Chiefs vs. Chargers: NFL Week 6 TV, Odds, Preview

In this story:
Fresh off a bye week, the Kansas City Chiefs are back in action and face an AFC West foe out of the gate in Week 6. It's the Los Angeles Chargers coming to town, and although Jim Harbaugh's squad is winless, it figures to put up a fight against a bitter rival in the afternoon's late window.
The visitors are at far less than 100% for this one, but the hosts also have some injuries of their own. Kansas City has already elevated a pair of wide receivers for Sunday's contest in an effort to offset some recent losses.
In their first clash with the Chargers since quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered his season-ending knee injury last December, can the Chiefs keep their undefeated record intact?
Here's everything you need to know and how you can follow along with the Chiefs as they square off against the Chargers on Sunday.
