Xavier Worthy catches seven for 73 yards

With top receivers Tyquan Thornton and Rashee Rice sidelined, and Travis Kelce leaving with an ankle injury, Xavier Worthy stepped into a larger role as Kansas City beat the Chargers 22-6. Worthy caught all seven of his targets for 73 yards, his best performance of the season, after coaches told him to prepare to lead the receiving group. The showing marked a turnaround after a quiet start to the season and renewed attention on how the Chiefs can use his speed and potential as a downfield threat. Worthy also described how Patrick Mahomes communicates with receivers about route spacing and depth, helping build the trust and coordination needed to execute the offense. Kansas City, still unbeaten at 5-0, will look to build on the performance against Seattle.
