Roland-Wallace threw a punch at Chargers right tackle Alex Harkey after Harkey knocked him down after the whistle on the first play of the fourth quarter. On-field officials initially handed out offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, but replay assist notified them of the punch and Roland-Wallace was disqualified.

Defensive end Ashton Gillotte was flagged for roughing-the-passer when he ran into Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. That flag wiped out an interception by the Chiefs’ Chris Rolland-Wallace. “To me,” Steratore said, “I just didn’t like the foul for roughing the passer.”

Kenneth Walker’s two first-half touchdowns paced the Chiefs, who moved to 5-0 and 3-0 in the AFC West. The first was a 33-yard run in the first quarter and the second was a second-effort 2-yard run that put Kansas City up 16-3. Walker surpassed 100 yards rushing for the fourth time in five games this season.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 272 yards, keeping Kansas City unbeaten alongside San Francisco and Minnesota while Los Angeles slumped to its worst start since 2000 behind Justin Herbert's league-leading eighth interception.
