Anthony Lynn and the Los Angeles Chargers have some things to play for during their last five games, but the postseason isn’t one of them.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers kept rolling single coverage onto Tyreek Hill, and Patrick Mahomes kept zinging passes deep downfield to the fleet-footed Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, who proceeded to waltz into the end zone three times while piling up 269 yards in a record-setting afternoon. It was just the latest example of the conundrum faced by Kansas City’s opposing defenses.
