The Kansas City Chiefs took out the Las Vegas Raiders with 27-20. That gave them 13 in a row and it is included in the postseason. They are undefeated in the Allegiant Stadium in Vegas as far as the series is concerned. They have taken all five there and the Raiders are unbeaten six games going, including this game when they won the Super Bowl back in February. For the first time since the September 29 game with a victory over Cleveland on a score of 20-16, Raiders lost at least twenty in the game.

Patrick Mahomes is now the quickest quarterback to go over 30,000 yards with his 103rd game. He thus broke the record of Matthew Stafford set 108 games ago. Travis Kelce had his best season yet with ten catches for 90 yards, including touchdown reception as he moved into a tie with Jason Witten for fifth place in all-time by a tight end. That's two games shy of what was his team's record: Tony Gonzalez.
Gardner Minshew led Las Vegas to a 209-yard touchdown drive, but was sacked five times. Jakobi Meyers, who missed two previous games because of an ankle injury, caught six passes for 52 yards and the TD. Minshew had to carry an offense with minimal running, averaging 1.6 per carry. The Raiders made the win, but failed to capitalize on key opportunities. The Raiders had 1:57 left in the half, but the team was unable to score on its ensuing possession with two incompletions. Kansas City responded with a 42-yard field goal with four seconds remaining as part of a nine-play, 56-yard drive.
The third quarter saw Las Vegas trail 17-13 when Tre'von Moehrig intercepted a Mahomes pass, sending the ball to the Chiefs 3. The Chiefs then ran 87 yards on 19 carries, burning 9:43 off the clock. However, a strip sack of Minshew set up the final Chiefs' touchdown with 4:59 left, but the Raiders scored a TD just before the 2-minute warning. Kansas City recovered the onside kick to seal the win.
