4th Quarter
San Diego knocked on the end zone door step again at the start of the quarter, but a fumble by Tomlinson gave the ball back to the Chiefs.
But Cassel, trying to elude a sack, was called for intentional grounding in said end zone, which led to a Chargers safety and a 40-14 lead.
The safety also led to three more Charger points on a field goal, extending the lead to 43-14.
And that would be the end of the scoring.
FINAL SCORE: San Diego 43, Chiefs 14
