We&#8217;re not sitting there going, &#8216;Hey listen, we have some guy that&#8217;s never done this before and doesn&#8217;t have a track record with us.&#8217; He comes in, and he just goes, &#8216;Okay, line me up, and let&#8217;s go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wright connected on a doink off the goalpost 31-yard game-winning field goal with one second left on the clock to seal Kansas City&#8217;s victory over the Chargers and claim their ninth-straight AFC West division title.
