Chiefs defeat Raiders to remain perfect on season in Week 8

LAS VEGAS, NV. (WIBW) – The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 in an AFC West matchup on Sunday to move to 7-0 in the 2024 season.

Kansas City would be the first to get on the board. The Chiefs drove down the field on their first drive and Kareem Hunt scored a 1-yard touchdown to make the score 7-0 early in the first quarter.

Las Vegas would later respond in the first. Gardner Minshew threw a 7-yard touchdown to Jakobi Meyers to tie the score at 7-7.

The Raiders then took a 10-7 lead in the second quarter on a 54-yard field goal by Daniel Carlson.

But with 1:57 left in the half, Travis Kelce would score his first touchdown of the season to regain the Chiefs’ lead. He caught a 5-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes to make the score 14-10.

The Chiefs entered the locker room with a 17-10 lead, thanks to a 42-yard field goal by Harrison Butker in the final seconds of the second quarter after the defense forced a quick three-pointer.

The third quarter would be relatively quiet in terms of scoring, only adding a 32-yard field goal by Carlson to reduce the deficit to 17-13.

Later in the third, a Mahomes pass was deflected by a Raiders defender and intercepted by the Las Vegas defense. But no points would be gained from that turnover, despite taking control inside the Cheifs’ five-yard line. Kansas City’s defense stood at the goal line four times to force a turnover.

In the fourth quarter, Butker kicked a 24-yard field goal to make the score 20-13 KC.

On the Raiders’ next drive, Minshew fumbled and the Chiefs defense recovered it, giving the ball back to the Kansas City offense.

They proceeded to drive to the red zone and Mahomes threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to rookie Xavier Worthy to make the score 27-13.

As the Raiders tried to come back late in the game, Minshew threw an 11-yard touchdown to DJ Turner, but it was too late to add anything else. Kansas City secured the 27-20 victory.

Mahomes is now 32-5 against AFC West teams. He completed 27 of 38 passes for 262 yards and 2 touchdowns. Travis Kelce was the leading receiver with 90 yards and a touchdown on 10 receptions.

Kansas City is now 7-0 on the season for the third time in franchise history. They will return home to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Monday night in prime time.
