The Chargers hit the road coming off two straight wins as they travel to Kansas City for an AFC West battle.
The Bolts will face the Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 15.Kickoff is scheduledfor 10:00 a.m. (PT).
Here are three players to watch on Sunday:
1.WR Keenan Allen
There's no player on the Chargers that knows the environment in Kansas City quite like the veteran wide receiver.
Sunday will beAllens eighth gameto Arrowhead Stadium, a place he last played in during the 2023 season.
And he figures to be a factor in the pass game in his first trip back since.
The 33-year-old has enjoyed a solid return to the Chargers, leading the team with 63 receptions and ranking second with 644 receiving yards.
He has also madesome history in the process, becoming the 16th player in NFL history to record 1,000 career catches and the fastest to do so in 159 games.
Allen also set the Chargers all-time receptions mark earlier this season.
But he also continues to do what he's always done move the chains.
Allen ranks 10th among all receivers in the league with 40 first downs as he's been a valuable piece for Justin Herbert and the offense on key downs.
In another trip to Kansas City, the veteran receiver could make himself a factor once again in this critical AFC West showdown.
"He's one of the best to ever do it," Herbert said about Allen earlier in the year. "We are so lucky to have him on our team as a leader, as a teammate and as a receiver.
"He finds a way to get open and that's what he's done over his career," Herbert added.
2. OLB Odafe Oweh
The Chargersacquisition of Owehcontinues to pay dividends forJesse Mintersunit.
Oweh notched another sack in Monday night's win against the Eagles and also tiedKhalil Mackfor the team lead with six pressures in the game.
He is now up to 5.0 sacks in eight games since joining the Bolts, good for the second-most on the team only behind fellow edge rusherTuli Tuipulotu.
"The athleticism, the length, the savviness, the spin move, the different types of moves," Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said about Oweh.
In Week 15 against the Chiefs, the edge rushers have a chance to be disruptive once again.
Kansas City's 2025 first-round pick left tackle Josh Simmons was placed on Injured Reserve prior to last week's game. The Chiefs were also without right tackle Jawaan Taylor.
Wanya Morris, who stepped in at left tackle, also got hurt early in the game, meaning the Chiefs were now down another tackle in Week 14.
It was a game where Houston was able to take advantage, totaling 27 total pressures on the night.
Both Taylor and Morrisdid not participate in practiceon Wednesday and Thursday, and a potential absence could be a chance for the Chargers edge rushers to make their mark on the game.
"Compliment is a great word because they all have a great style," Harbaugh said.
He later added: "I don't know of any group of edge rushers in the league that are complimentary in terms of style of play, yet play the style of the defense, as well."
3. K Cameron Dicker
Dicker continues to stamp himself among the league's best kickers.
Dicker tied asingle-game career highwith five made field goals, tallying 16 total points in Monday night's win against the Eagles.
That included a couple of clutch kicks, including a 46-yarder with only eight seconds left that tied the game at 19 and helped send it to overtime.
Dicker then drilled a 54-yarder in the extra period that gave the Bolts a lead they would hang onto for the win.
"What a great kicker," Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Chargers Special Teams Coordinator Ryan Ficken added: "It doesn't matter the type of kick. If it's a game-winning kick, a PAT, his approach on every kick is the same, the demeanor is the same. He's having fun out there, that's what I think has been the most impressive about him."
Overall on the season, Dicker's 31 made field goals, the most in the AFC and tied for the most in the NFL.
He has also produced 121 points this season, which leads all AFC players and is the second-most in the NFL as he remains perfect on 28 point after attempts.
Dicker remains the most accurate kicker in NFL history as he's hit 122 of 130 career attempts, good for a 93.8 percent accuracy rate.
He'll be called upon again this week in Kansas City with cold temperatures on the forecast, and because games between the Bolts and Chiefs usually come down to the wire almost every time.
