Justin Herbert currently boasts a 2-1 record over Patrick Mahomes, and he’s once again looking like the guy who won last season’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
The Chargers have destroyed the Giants and the Bengals in back-to-back games to put a patchy run of form behind them, but there are still enormous question marks over their defense.
However, the Bolts’ resurgence is nothing compared to what we’ve been seeing from KC. The sunshine band is well and truly back, and unlike last season it seems the Chiefs may be peaking at just the right time.
The Raiders will certainly testify, after being stuffed 48-9 last weekend. This could get wild, so follow our guide to watch the Chiefs vs Chargers online and get an NFL live stream wherever you are in the world right now.

How to watch Chiefs vs Chargers from outside your country
If you’ve mismatched a holiday or you’re away on business and you want to watch your country’s coverage from abroad, then you’ll need to use a VPN. This will help you dial in to a location back in your home country to avoid geo-blocks and regain access to the content and services you already pay for back home.
A VPN is generally perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location when the big game is on.
