The DUMBEST CONTROVERSY in Chiefs/Chargers Rivalry HISTORY | Chargers @ Chiefs (1989)

Prior to week 15 of the 1989 NFL season, the San Diego Chargers got offended by a comment made by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Steve DeBerg, and used that comment as motivation to get ready for this game. The only problem? The comment was about the most innocent thing imaginable, to the point where DeBerg was baffled as to how this blew up in the first place

Given how poorly the Chiefs played here, you'd think they were the ones who took three days off instead of the Bolts.

[@KWCline91]

In fairness to the 2022 Chiefs, the AFC West was predicted to be the most competitive division because of the quarterback play. Some people saw the Chargers as the best team while others had the Raiders. Nobody really thought Kansas City would miss the playoffs. They just didn’t think they would win the division. But KC is always a team to watch out for as of now, they are a dynasty that has a chance to be elite.

[@redmustangredmustang]

The sad thing was mostly in the 1980s, arrowhead was pretty empty like you see in the scheme. The next year, Marty got the team to the playoffs and made Arrowhead a hard place to win especially for the Broncos. Now you can't find a ticket since they are sold out wait in advance.

[@leogetz3570]

Chargers got offended so bad they finished 6-10 instead of 5-11..... smh

[@slimischillin7753]

People did say the chiefs were gonna be bad and miss the playoffs this year. Most famously, Bart Scott said it. There’s whole compilation videos of pundits saying it on KZbin. It’s not a situation where a good team made something up to motivate themselves. Don’t choose to gaslight instead of doing your homework. You’re supposed to be smart.

[@joearroyo482]

I think the Chargers took DeBerg’s comments negatively because they seriously believed he was making fun of the fact that SD was already eliminated from playoff contention and that the game didn’t matter, and that’s why their coach gave them three days off to X-mas shop. Meanwhile the Chiefs still had something to play for and were a better team. SD coach Dan Henning probably used any kind of billboard material to motivate the team. Afterwards, Deberg did say he didn’t understand how the Chargers beat them because the Chiefs were a “playoff” team, confirming they didn’t really consider the Chargers a threat, and were looking past them. The next year, Deberg and the Chiefs clinched the AFC West title and would start a long stint of playkff appearances under Marty Schottenheimer. while the Chargers would finish another two dismall seasons under Henning, which would eventually lead to his firing and the arrival of Bobby Ross in 1992.

[@Fireyninjadog]

The early 2000s were nice times in the rivalry. LT, Tony G, Trent green, drew brees, Antonio gates, junior seau

[@scotthopkins9458]

I just find it silly for the fact that the Chargers took offense of what DeBerg said. If I was a player on the opposing rival team and heard him say that. I won’t be offended. In fact that would have gave me an idea to do my Christmas shopping early

[@blindjustice8718]

People (more than a couple)

[@davidstephens5603]

This is the kind of thing Dan Henning used to do. The following season, the Chargers had the Buccaneers at home and Henning told the team that then Bucs HC Ray Perkins had made some disrespectful comments about the team. The Chargers went out and hammered the Bucs for the alleged comments - the were actually never made.

[@jeffanderson3962]

Didn't the Patriots pretty much say "nobody believed in us" after every SB they won? Got really annoying.

[@kylehuckins213]

Good old Elvis "Toast" Patterson.

[@fatelvishguy6386]

Tons of people were saying the ‘22 chiefs would come 3rd or 4th in the west and miss the playoffs though. Tons of receipts after the Tyreek trade

[@NaturalOneNation]

I thought people in California only started getting easily offended in the last 5-10 years, but apparently it’s always been the case for people in California. Smh.

[@gbalph4]

Chargers mad they chargering

[@bobertsides]

I'm a Chargers fan, and the only thing I'm offended by is how goddamn stretched out this video is

[@Chiefs555]

This is such a great video. Thanks man.

[@chrisp679]

Elvis Patterson talking shit, yet his nickname is Toast because he couldn’t defend an invisible man.

[@stevenbauer4799]

wow this was bolts post-fouts. a lot of sorry qb's, career back-ups, washed up qb's in this game. jaws, mcmahon, deberg, pelluer, archer. two former ditka qb's mcmahon and billy joe interception-one of two billy joe int's ditka had with saints.

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

The Chiefs weren't picked by many pundits to win the division this year, and several said they would miss the playoffs. Just look at all the freezing cold takes memes being spread around now.
