Philip Rivers throws for 392 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday.
The Chiefs had taken the lead when Alex Smith hit Dwayne Bowe in tight coverage for a go-ahead score with 1:22 left. But the Chargers (5-6) still had two timeouts, and they used both of them to quickly move downfield. Ajirotutu’s TD was just his third catch of the season.
It also represented the eighth and final lead change in the game.
