INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Kansas City receiver Rashee Rice left the field on a cart with a knee injury after a bizarre play in which he was hit by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes while both players were pursuing Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton during an interception return. Mahomes overthrew Travis Kelce at midfield on the Chiefs’ second drive, and Fulton returned the interception 29 yards. Rice caught Fulton from behind at the Chiefs 20 and punched the ball loose for a fumble. But Mahomes hit Rice’s legs while the star quarterback ducked down to attempt a tackle on Fulton.
