After the Chargers (10-4) willed their way to another crucial victory in their Week 15 AFC West division showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs (6-8) by a score of 16-13 from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 14, fans and media rushed to the social media realm to react to the Bolts’ victory.
The Chargers’ victory not only keeps the Bolts in the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff picture, with Buffalo, Jacksonville, and Houston all winning on Sunday, but also eliminates the Chiefs from NFL playoff contention for the first time since 2014.
Without further ado, here are some of the best social media reactions immediately following Sunday’s important victory.

Chargers eliminate 2 AFC west teams from the playoffs, won’t eliminate the Broncos, but snatching that AFC west title from them would be sweet pic.twitter.com/lp7Uwbe81K

The Chargers are 10-4.
They have now achieved double-digit wins in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2006-2007.
It’s been as ugly as it gets in recent weeks but the Jim Harbaugh effect is working.
