Keenan Allen’s return is a key to the Chargers’ playoff bid this season. The team last played in the playoffs in 2018 when they lost the division round against the New England Patriots. The Chiefs, their opponents for Sunday, are dominating the AFC West and have won 7 out of the nine games they have played. To stand a chance of outscoring the team led by Patrick Mahomes, they need every offensive weapon firing.
Allen has featured in just two games this season, catching a total of six balls. He gained a total of 77 receiving yards but could not score a touchdown. So, he will be raring to go against the division leaders.
