The Kansas City Chiefs lost again last night, falling to the Chargers 31-13.

KC is now 1-7, and have yet to hold a lead in regulation this season. They rank 29th in scoring defense, 30th in scoring offense, and look like the clear favorite to get the #1 overall pick.

How desperate are they right now?

With four minutes left they were down 31-13 and tried an onside kick. But it wasn't just any onside kick, it was a double-fake onside kick. It didn't work.

Here's the thing about this play: It's not as dumb as it looks. Teams try weird gadget plays all the time, and sometimes they work. But if you have this super-secret play up your sleeve, you shouldn't use it when you're down 18 points with four minutes left, you should use it when you really need it.

Total desperation move (via SB Nation):
