The Chiefs and Raiders came into this game at opposite ends of the AFC West table. This game has ceased to be a meaningful rivalry ever since Patrick Mahomes has come into the league, as Kansas City has gone about establishing a dynasty. Las Vegas, meanwhile, has struggled to often make the playoffs and has had a rotating cast at coach and quarterback positions.The Chiefs were 6-0 coming into Week 8. They are the only team with a perfect record left in the NFL. Their defense has been exceptional this season. One concern that they had was their injuries on offense and they added DeAndre Hopkins prior to this game to assist in that regard.The Raiders were 5-2 entering this week. They are bottom of the AFC West and have fallen behind both the Broncos and the Chargers, who have a rookie quarterback and a new head coach respectively. They have lost Davante Adams to the Jets and were the underdogs going into this match. This is how the action unfolded.Chiefs vs. Raiders box scoresQuarter1234TotalChiefs71001027Raiders733720Chiefs box scorePassingPlayerC/ATTYDSAVGTDINTSACKSRTGPatrick Mahomes27/382626.9211-1096.6RushingPlayerCARYDSAVGTDLONGKareem Hunt21592.817Patrick Mahomes6172.8014Carson Steele26304Team29822.8114ReceivingPlayerRECYDSAVGTDLONGTGTSTravis Kelce1090912512Xavier Worthy4379.31168Justin Watson333110193Samaje Perine230150212DeAndre Hopkins22914.50163Noah Gray3237.70103Mecole Hardman188081Carson Steele188081Kareem Hunt144041Jody Fortson000001Team272629.722535DefensePlayerTOTSOLOSACKSTFLPDQB HTSTDNick Bolton9700000Drue Tranquill6413010Nazeeh Johnson5200000Leo Chenal4410000Justin Reid4300000Felix Anudike-Uzomah4300000Trent McDuffie4200010George Karlaftis4111110Bryan Cook3300000Chris Jones3201010Malik Herring3201000Chamarri Conner3200000Tershawn Wharton2211110Christian Roland-Wallace2200010Joshua Williams2100000Mike Pennel Jr.1110010Joe Thuney1100000Team604257280FumblesPlayerFUMLOSTRECTravis Kelce100Samaje Perine001Drue Tranquill001Team102KickingPlayerFGPCTLONGXPPTSHarrison Butker2/2100423/39Raiders box scorePassingPlayerC/ATTYDSAVGTDINTSACKSRTGGardner Minshew24/302097205-14117.9RushingPlayerCARYDSAVGTDLONGAlexander Mattison14151.105Tre Tucker17707Gardner Minshew26307DJ Turner14404Ameer Abdullah12202Zamir White2-1-0.502Team21331.607ReceivingPlayerRECYDSAVGTDLONGTGTSBrock Bowers55811.60195Jakobi Meyers6528.71177Alexander Mattison5295.80115DJ Turner42871114Tre Tucker226130203Ameer Abdullah199092John Samuel Shenker177071Team242098.722027DefensePlayerTOTSOLOSACKSTFLPDQB HTSTDINTRobert Spillane126010000Tre'von Moehrig95001001Divine Deablo74000000Jakorian Bennett63000000Jack Jones54001000K'Lavon Chaisson43000100Nate Hobbs42011000John Jenkins41001000Charles Snowden41000100Tyree Wilson32110100Maxx Crosby32000000Adam Butler31000000Kolton Miller11000000Alex Bachman11000000Janarius Robinson11000000Matthew Butler11000000Isaiah Pola-Mao11000000Amari Gainer10000000Jonah Laulu10000000Tommy Eichenberg10000000Team7239134300FumblesPlayerFUMLOSTRECGardner Minshew110Team110KickingPlayerFGPCTLONGXPPTSDaniel Carlson2/2100542/28Chiefs vs. Raiders game summaryThe Chiefs and the Raiders played out a fascinating game but at the end of it all, fans were left with a familiar feeling as Kansas City won yet again.The first half was an absorbing contest where both teams opened their first drives with a touchdown. The Chiefs had the ball first and took the ball down 70 yards with Kareem Hunt scoring with a short rush to the endzone. The Raiders responded in kind with Gardner Minshew perfect on his throws, with the final touchdown pass nestling in the hands of Jakobi Meyers.The second quarter began with Las Vegas in ascendance as they got a field goal to go up 10-3 after Kansas City punted in their previous possession. However, the Chiefs can never be counted out and they responded with a scoring drive of their own, with Patrick Mahomes finding Travis Kelce in the endzone for the first time this season.After the Raiders were forced to punt again, the Chiefs went up the other end to score a field goal near the end of the half. Kansas City went into the locker rooms with a 17-10 lead, with the match finely poised as Las Vegas was due to receive the kickoff in the second half.When they did, the Raiders could not do much and had to punt it away to open the third quarter. Their defense came up clutch, though, and forced the Chiefs to punt too. The return set up a field goal that made the score 17-13 against the home team. In the next play, Las Vegas' defense nearly got two safeties as Kansas City's offense held them on consecutive plays near the goal line. They finally got through when Patrick Mahomes was intercepted to set up a Raiders' first-and-goal.The Chiefs' defense, however, was not to be intimated and they held their opposition on three consecutive rushes before turning the ball over on downs by sacking Gardner Minshew after Las Vegas elected to go for it on fourth down. That proved to be a pivotal moment as Kansas City went down the other end to score a field goal and take a 20-13 lead.With this still being a one-score game, the Raiders had a chance to tie it on the next drive if they scored a touchdown. But disaster struck as Gardner Minshew fumbled the ball and the Chiefs recovered. Patrick Mahomes concluded that drive with a touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy.With the score now 27-13 late in the fourth quarter, the Raiders needed a touchdown and an onside kick to retain possession and try again. They got the first of that done right before the two-minute warning with D.J. Turner catching the pass in the endzone. But the kick attempt failed and the Chiefs got the ball with the Las Vegas out of timeouts. Patrick Mahomes knelt down three times to take Kansas City to a perfect 7-0 record for the 2024 season.
