The Las Vegas Raiders are going into the bye week after a big win against the Kansas City Chiefs, here are five things we learned from the Week 5 victory

Coming into their Week 5 matchup with the 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs, the Las Vegas Raiders were coming off two straight losses to AFC East teams. The Chiefs had of course on four straight and were looking like their dominant selves and the spread of -11 emphasized the difference that many believed existed between the two teams.

To say the Raiders were reeling would be an overstatement but there were some signs of discontent among the team and if the losing continued, the wheels could have come off on a promising season. Instead, the Raiders rose to the occasion on all sides of the ball and head into the bye week with a 3-2 record and the confidence of an undefeated team.

Coming up after the bye is another gauntlet of playoff contenders in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns but for now let’s focus on the positive and relish in the big win over the Chiefs. Here are 5 things we learned from the victory at Arrowhead Stadium.
