KANSAS CITY (09/11/2016) Helix High alum Alex Smith's two-yard touchdown scramble in overtime provided the dagger for the biggest comeback in Kansas City Chiefs history.
The San Diego Chargers (0-1) led 27-10 late in the fourth quarter, but the Chiefs (1-0) rallied with 23 unanswered points to come away with the season-opening victory.
Things took a turn for the worse after Keenan Allen (6 catches for 63 yards) was carted off the field with a potential torn ACL.
Melvin Gordon ran in the first two touchdowns of his pro career to help put the Chargers up 14-3 early in the second quarter.
After a sack by Jerry Attaochu forced a three-and-out, Phillip Rivers found Danny Woodhead wide open in the end zone to extend the lead to 21-3 going into the half.
A 29-yard field goal by Josh Lambo made it 24-3, but the Chiefs struck back with a nine-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Tyreek Hill to cut the Bolts' lead to 24-10 with 2:47 left in the third.
Lambo nailed a 28-yarder to put the Chargers up 27-10 in the fourth quarter, but Smith's 19-yard strike to Jeremy Maclin sparked the 17-0 run that forced overtime.
Pumphrey breaks Faulk's career rushing record in Aztecs' win over California

The missed extra point kept the SDSU lead at 45-40, but a successful onside kick gave California new life.
