AFC West Final Regular Season Standings: San Diego Chargers 9-7
- Updated: January 4, 2015
Here is the updated list of the AFC West final regular season standings. The San Diego Chargers are sitting at the number three spot in the AFC West bracket! See it below:
In Week 15 the San Diego Chargers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. Here is an excerpt from the NFL.com recap:
“By the time the Chiefs got to their locker room, though, they knew: The Ravens and Texans both rallied in the second half for victories, giving Baltimore the final AFC wild-card spot.
“We end up missing the playoffs,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “so while it’s fresh in the players’ minds, it’s important that they feel how important every game is in this league. There’s so much parity in the league and these games are so close.”
The playoff disappointment overshadowed plenty of positives Sunday.
Justin Houston had four sacks for the Chiefs (9-7) to break Derrick Thomas’ franchise record with 22 in the season. Cairo Santos kicked four field goals, and Daniel played serviceably in just his second NFL start, throwing for 157 yards without an interception.
The Chiefs’ only touchdown came when wide receiver Dwayne Bowe fumbled inches shy of the goal line early in the second quarter. Tight end Travis Kelce recovered in the end zone, not only giving Kansas City a 10-0 lead, but keeping a dubious streak intact: No Chiefs wide receiver caught a TD pass all season, the first time in at least 50 years that has happened.
“I honestly didn’t pay attention to that. I wanted to win,” Houston said of his record. “I felt like everything was going to work out in our favor if we won, we’d be in the playoffs.”
The Chargers (9-7) never really gave themselves a chance at the playoffs.”
