Chargers go for 2 to beat Chiefs late

Philip Rivers led the Chargers to a pair of touchdowns in the final minutes, then hit Mike Williams for the go-ahead two-point conversion with four seconds left for a 29-28 victory over the Chiefs on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

“We didn’t come here to tie. We came here to win. So to me it was a no-brainer,” said Chargers coach Anthony Lynn, whose team became the first since the Vikings in Week 15 of the 2002 season to win with a two-point conversion in the final 10 seconds of regulation.

The Chargers (11-3) trailed 28-14 when Justin Jackson’s touchdown run with 3:49 to go gave them a chance. They quickly got the ball back from Patrick Mahomes and the NFL’s highest-scoring offense, and Rivers led a tense final drive that included a fourth-down dart to Travis Benjamin to keep it alive.

The comeback clinched a playoff berth for the Chargers, who forged a first-place tie in the AFC West, though the Chiefs hold the tiebreaker with a better division record.

Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones tied an NFL record by recording a sack in his 10th consecutive game.

Injury news

A recent CT scan on Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz’s back revealed he has a fractured vertebra, but it has not been determined yet if he will play through it. Wentz will not need surgery, but he’s expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Rams and possibly the rest of the season.

♦ The Jets will be without two key playmakers on offense against the Texans. Starting running back Isaiah Crowell is dealing with a toe ailment and receiver Quincy Enunwa has been out this week with an ankle injury.

♦ Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr.’s (quad) status against the Titans is uncertain.
