Xavier Worthy caught everything thrown his way against the Chargers: 7 targets, 7 catches, 73 yards, +3.3 expected points added (EPA). EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The catch that mattered came up 3-0 with 9:21 left in the first quarter. Third and 2 at the Kansas City 41: Patrick Mahomes threw short right and Worthy ran out of bounds at the Chargers 42, 17 yards, +1.7 EPA and +4.4 points of win probability. Kenneth Walker's 33-yard touchdown came three plays later.
With 14 seconds left in the half he added 19 yards to the Chargers 32, setting up a field goal for 19-3. His opening-snap 33-yard catch was pulled back by an illegal block above the waist on Travis Kelce, and a first-down catch in the fourth lost 2 yards.
It was a positive day against a negative start. Across Weeks 1 through 4 he had 22 targets, 14 catches, 133 yards, 1 touchdown and -3.3 EPA.
