Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Christian Roland-Wallace might think twice about his actions after he was caught throwing a punch in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 22-6 victory against the Chargers.
Wallace was ejected during the fourth quarter after the CBS broadcast replay caught him throwing a punch at Chargers offensive tackle Alex Harkey’s helmet when he was attempting to get up after a play.
In the replay, Wallace was also visibly seen getting pushed by safety Jayden Hicks while delivering his left hook.
Prior to the punch, Harkey was seen pushing Wallace into Kansas City linebacker Nick Bolton at the end of the play after the whistle was blown.
Aside from being removed from the game, Wallace also received a 15-yard penalty for his action and can potentially face a suspension and fine for the punch.
Wallace finished the game four tackles, three of them logged as solo.
In what’s been a frustrating season for Los Angeles, Sunday only added to it as Los Angeles is now 0-6 to start the year.
The Chargers compiled a total of 259 yards of offense and failed to score a touchdown despite quarterback Justin Herbert putting the team one yard away from the endzone after he threw a 57-yard pass to Quentin Johnston in the third quarter.
A holding penalty on the next play moved Los Angeles back 10 yards, resulting in the team failing to break through and settling for a 30-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker.
Herbert completed 22 of 37 passes for 204 yards and threw his eighth interception of the season in the second quarter.
The running game continued to struggle as Los Angeles had only 73 yards on the ground, and Herbert was team’s leading rusher, having 26 yards on the ground.
Los Angeles also took a hit from the injury bug as wide receiver Ladd McConkey left the game early in the second quarter with a concussion after hauling in a 17-yard reception.
