The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — The Kansas City Chiefs went more than two quarters without scoring but still defeated San Diego 14-13 yesterday as the dead zone became the dead zone for the Chargers.
Christian Okoye scored on a 1-yard run three plays into the game, and Steve DeBerg threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Robb Thomas halfway through the second quarter, ending the Chiefs' scoring.
San Diego (0-5) trailed 14-10 and had third-and-goal on the Chiefs' 5-yard line with 10 minutes left in the game. But Neil Smith sacked John Friesz for a 7-yard loss, and Friesz lost 7 more yards on a fumble. The Chargers settled for three points on John Carney's 37-yard field goal.
San Diego held the Chiefs (3-2) to 14 yards and no first downs on their first three possessions of the second half. When Kansas City finally moved the ball into San Diego territory, Nick Lowery went wide to the left on his 44 yard field goal try with 3:11 remaining in the game. San Diego was unable to advance the ball into Kansas City territory, and the Chiefs ran out the clock.
Okoye rushed for 65 yards on 19 carries, and DeBerg completed it 10 of 20 passes for 112 yards with one interception. San Diego's Rod Bernstine gained 112 yards on 26 carries
and scored San Diego's only touchdown. Friesz completed 10 of 25 passes for 162 yards with no interceptions.
Harvey Williams broke through a pile at the 20-yard line and returned the opening kickoff 76 yards. A facemask penalty against the Chargers' Donald Frank gave Kansas City the ball at San Diego's 7-yard line. Three plays later, Okoye went up the middle and gave the Chiefs a 7-lead.
After the Chief's touchdown, San Diego's Nate Lewis broke a big return of his own, 41 yards to the Chargers' 46-yard line. Bernstine carried seven times for 36 yards on the drive, including a 2-yard scoring run for a 7-7 tie halfway through the first quarter.
Kansas City had to move a little harder for its second touchdown, moving 71 yards on 10 plays in 5:47. In the drive, DeBerg completed 4 of 5 passes, including the scoring pass. He stepped up in the pocket and hit Thomas on a post pattern in the second quarter for a 14-7 lead.
The Chargers, helped by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Chiefs' linebacker Chris Martin, moved to the Chiefs' 18-yard line in the closing minute of the first half. But on fourth-and-two with 54 seconds left in the half, Carney's 36-yard field goal try bounced off the right goalpost.
Carney kicked a 26-yard field goal with 45 left in the third quarter, making it 14-10.
