The Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs will rekindle their AFC West rivalry in a Week 4 matchup at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
The Chiefs have won eight straight division titles along with 10 straight road games against Los Angeles. However, given that the Chargers have demonstrated a serious desire to compete in the division this season under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, fans can anticipate this game to feel a little different than in seasons before.

Shawn Smith began his officiating career in the NFL as an umpire in 2015 before being elevated to referee for the 2018 season. He was only the sixth African-American referee in NFL history at the time he started officiating games.
To the delight of Kansas City Chiefs fans, Smith and his officiating crew have a history of calling more penalties against the home team. Since 2018, Smith has also had the highest road team win rate among NFL referees. Home teams won just over 17% of the games his crew officiated in the 2023 season. In comparison, the league’s average for the season is 56%.
Kansas City went 1-1 in the two games Shawn Smith served as head referee for them last season; the team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the regular season and won against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. The referee was also the head referee for two LAC's games last season and the team also went 1-1 in those games.
Shawn Smith was the head referee for the Buffalo Bills vs Jacksonville Jaguars game on Monday Night Football in Week 3. Josh Allen and the Bills rallied to a comfortable 47-10 win in that game.
