Kansas City scored on their first drive when Mahomes found Justin Watson with a 67-yard deep pass. He then caught a two-yard pass to Jerick McKinnon for a touchdown.

A two-yard run by Ronald Jones early in the second quarter put the Chiefs up 14-3 and they appeared to be firmly in control of the game.

After a Kadarius Toney touchdown was ruled out for holding an opponent, the same player compensated by rushing 11 yards for a score on the next play.

A one-yard run by Isiah Pacheco in the quarter made it 31–6, but the Raiders narrowed the deficit with QB Jarrett Stidham connecting with Hunter Renfrow for an 11-yard touchdown pass.

It was a convincing win for Andy Reid’s team, who will now enjoy a bye before the playoffs begin. “It’s important, it’s like winning a playoff game”Mahomes said to secure the break.
