The two top teams in the AFC West will battle it out on Sunday afternoon when the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Los Angeles Chargers. The undefeated Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, will face the 2-1 Chargers at Sofi Stadium, with QB Justin Herbert expected to start for the home team. The Chargers may also be down a key player on Sunday; safety Derwin James Jr. was suspended without pay for one game. In a letter from the NFL to James, the suspension was handed down after James "lowered [his] head and made forcible contact to Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth" in last Sunday's game between the Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The statement elaborated, "Substantial penalties are warranted when players violate the rules intended to protect player safety on a repeated basis, particularly when the violations carry with them a significant risk of injury to an opposing player." James is expected to appeal the ruling.

The game will air at 4:45 p.m on CBS and Paramount+. Here’s all the info you need about today's Kansas City vs. Los Angeles game. You can also keep an eye on game-day updates here.

How to watch every NFL game this season:

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you're looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it's just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here's what we recommend to watch the NFL.
