SAN DIEGO - With Philip Rivers melting down, the Kansas City Chiefs shocked the San Diego Chargers, scoring 24 straight points in the second half and getting huge plays from two rookies for a 30-16 win Sunday.

Dwayne Bowe, the Chiefs' first-round draft pick, caught a go-ahead, 51-yard TD pass from Damon Huard early in the fourth quarter. Cornerback Tyron Brackenridge, a rookie free agent, raced 50 yards for a score after Rivers was sacked and fumbled with just more than seven minutes left.

It was the third straight loss for the Chargers (1-3), which exceeds their loss total from last year, when they were an NFL-best 14-2 before their playoff pratfall against New England.
