For the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers, Sunday's experience will feel frightfully like 2013's season finale and at the end of the day they conflict at the last obstacle for a compartment in the postseason.
A year ago, the Chargers proved to be the best and finished the Chiefs' fight however the similitude end with the two groups on the field and the prize.
Pointed stone, home of the Chiefs, will have Sunday's match which is despite the fact that the terminus hasn't generally suited the hosts in late gatherings. The last three matches between these sides were chosen by three focuses, two for the guests.
Both sides, in front of the week 17 commencement, hold play-off goals yet with definitely distinctive probabilities. The Chargers have their predetermination in their own hands and a win will broaden their season.
Anyway they will need to do it without quarterback Alex Smith, who will miss whatever remains of the season with a cut spleen.
While Smith's damage does not oblige surgery, it regularly obliges six weeks to recuperate, which would sideline Smith regardless of the fact that the Chiefs arrived at the Super Bowl. Store quarterback Chase Daniel will begin against the Chargers
It appeared like the Chargers would need to sit tight until 2015 for the play-offs when they trailed 21-0 and after that 28-7 to the San Francisco 49ers and their wonderful rebound triumph could be translated as the ideal energy heading into this weekend - or proof of their frailties. Furthermore much after unrealistically beating the 49ers, the Chargers still needed to depend upon Baltimore losing to set up not long from now 17 shoot-outs.
Philip Rivers had tossed three block attempts before discovering his structure at a discriminating stage and finishing a 11-yard pass that Malcolm Floyd touched down to balance with 29 seconds left.
In his last four matches against the Chiefs, Rivers has tossed for 12 touchdowns against four block attempts.
Worryingly for San Diego fans, Rivers is said to have a protruding plate in his back which could influence his interest this weekend. The quarterback must discover a path through the alliance's second-positioned protection, a tall errand even without his damage concerns.
Be that as it may notwithstanding the Chiefs' noteworthy resistance, it is a dull offense that has to a great extent brought about four thrashings in five. In Justin Houston, they gloat a player whose 18 sacks are two short of Derrick Thomas' 1990 Chiefs record yet their failure to toss a solitary touchdown to a wide beneficiary in 16 diversions is the deficiency that implies their play-off trusts are thin.
The Chiefs arrived at the postseason last fight however driven forward in continuous years since 1994 and ‘95 haven’t. Matching that honor requires more than simply own result.
On the most recent day of last season, when this installation played out in San Diego, the Chiefs landed with their fundamental stars rested in front of an ensured postseason, making life a considerable measure simpler for the Chargers - not long from now, there will be no Christmas blessings from two sides scrapping to stay alive.
