LAC WRs: Chargers WR Mike Williams returned from a three-game absence — but injured his ankle in the first quarter and did not return.

Impact: The Chiefs (8-2) have a three-game lead in the AFC West — they’re ahead of the Chargers (5-5), Raiders (3-7), and Broncos (3-7). Kansas City is also the current No. 1 seed in the AFC, while the Chargers are sitting outside the playoff picture. Next Up: The Chiefs host the flailing Rams (3-7). The Chargers have a must-win road game against the Cardinals (4-6).

Viral Comment: After the game, Wilson responded “[NO](” when asked if he let the Jets’ defense down. - New York’s defense limited New England to just 3 points and 297 yards. - The Jets had 2 yards of offense in the second half. Differing View: Robert Saleh did not agree with Wilson’s statement and called the Jets’ offensive showing "dogs---." - Jets WR Garrett Wilson also acknowledged the offensive failure, saying, “We got our ass beat on offense, and the results showed." QB Change? Saleh did not mention what he plans to do at quarterback moving forward — though it’s worth noting that Joe Flacco has more passing touchdowns (5) than Wilson (4) on the season (despite four fewer starts).
