Highlights
The Raiders hung with the Chiefs early in the first half, and even cut the lead to 13-7 when Doug Martin scored from one yard out. However, the Chiefs drove right down the field, and it ended with a Patrick Mahomes touchdown to Travis Kelce.
That set the stage for the second half, and before all was said and done, the Chiefs came away with their tenth win of the season. Oakland made it interesting late, kicking a field goal to go down one score with under a minute left, but the onside kick was recovered by the Chiefs.
With the loss, Oakland falls to 2-10 on the season, while Kansas City rolls to 10-2.
Here is a look at the highlights from Sunday.
