The Kansas City Chiefs have only lost one game this season and are currently the place leaders of the AFC, but they’ve looked far from their usual dominant selves this season. Luckily for Kansas City, that hasn’t seemed to matter much, as it seems like they’ve caught whatever breaks necessary to come out of their games victorious.
The Chiefs are slated to play the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night, and it appears they’ve caught yet another break.
“Chargers WR Ladd McConkey’s status is in doubt for Sunday with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder and a knee sprain,” reported NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Good Morning Football.

Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“McConkey can NOT catch a break,” one fan said on Twitter.
“man i just wonder who they’re playing,” one fan said sarcastically, noting how everything seems to fall the Chiefs’ way.
“I’ll massage his shoulder and knee for him, just get back on that field laddy,” one fan who is desperate to see McConkey on the field added.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Chiefs can adapt if their lucky streak runs out late in the season. Many don’t believe the team is good enough week in and week out to win its third consecutive Super Bowl.
