Notes:  Lawrence Tynes had a 48-yard field goal wiped out by an illegal procedure penalty, then came right back to connect on a career-long 53-yarder with 6 seconds left to give the Chiefs a 30-27 victory over the San Diego Chargers.  The Kansas City kicker atoned for missing a first-quarter field goal try and hitting the upright on an extra point attempt in the second quarter.

 

Damon Huard, making his fifth start in relief of the injured Trent Green, made up for a critical turnover by completing three passes for 52 yards. Tony Gonzalez had two catches for 37 yards on the drive, capping a six-catch, 138-yard day for the Pro Bowl tight end.

 

Larry Johnson, held to 26 yards rushing in last week's 45-7 loss at Pittsburgh -- Kansas City's worst defeat in a non-strike year since 1984 -- ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns against the Chargers.

 

San Diego RB LaDainian Tomlinson figured in two fourth-quarter TD throws, one as the receiver and one as the passer, as the Chargers (4-2) came back from an early 17-point deficit to tie the game at 27-all.
