Are the Kansas City Chiefs the team to beat in the AFC?

Long pick-six in win Watson recorded four tackles (three solo) and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown, during Thursday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.

Impact After the Chiefs tied the game 17-17, the Chargers offense moved the ball efficiently and methodically down the field to the three-yard line. Gerald Everett set Los Angeles up with a 26-yard catch-and-run, but he appeared to ask out after getting tackled near the goal line. However, Justin Herbert opted to go hurry-up and went right back to Everett, who wasn't ready for the pass. Watson jumped the route and took the interception back 99 yards to give Kansas City its first lead of the game. The rookie seventh-round pick has recorded six tackles, two pass defenses and an interception across 81 snaps during his first two NFL contests.

Seventh-round pick by Kansas City The Chiefs selected Watson in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 243rd overall.

Impact Watson (6-foot-2, 195 pounds) is an interesting Cover-3 type corner prospect, and one who looks like a good pick for the Chiefs this late. Like third-round pick and fellow rookie corner Joshua Williams, Watson is a big corner with standout athleticism and gives the Chiefs a trait match to Charvarius Ward, who left the Chiefs in free agency. Watson has long arms (32 and 1/4 inches) to jam receivers and elite leaping athleticism (38-inch vertical, 132-inch broad jump) to defend them above the rim.
