Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs  explore now

The Kansas City Chiefs showed their experience by coming from behind to edge out the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 in a thrilling AFC West match up on Thursday Night Football.

For all the noise before the game around two elite playmakers in Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert,

 it was seventh-round draft pick Jaylen Watson who stole the show when he scored a 99-yard pick-six touchdown in the 4th quarter to put the Chiefs ahead 24-17.

The rookie, who once took a break from sport on the college level and worked at a Wendy's, has not had an easy path and was rightfully thrilled with his performance.

logo "I've just been working my butt off and, if the time came where someone went down, I was going to be ready and prepared, and that's what happened," Watson said afte

"I woke up knowing I was going to get a pick, honestly," he said. "I just knew, being a seventh-rounder, having my first start, 

I was going to get tested a lot and early, and I just felt I was going to get one today, and that's what happened.

"I was surprised. I still knew I was going to get one, but obviously, I was surprised when it happened."
