San Diego (4-3) was in position for a game-winning field goal, when quarterback Philip Rivers fumbled at the Kansas City 15-yard line with 48 seconds left to play in regulation. The Chiefs’ Andy Studebaker recovered the ball, but Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel was intercepted by Eric Weddle, his second pick-off of the game, on the ensuing drive.
