Travis Kelce ended his touchdown drought on Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 to maintain their undefeated record for the season. Kelce had not scored since November 20, 2023, against the Philadelphia Eagles – a span of 12 games. However, he managed to find the end zone in the second quarter after a sharp pass from Patrick Mahomes. Kelce finished the game with 10 catches for 90 yards, while Mahomes was 27 of 38 with 262 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and an interception. The Chiefs were able to take the lead at that point and never looked back.
Despite the Chiefs’ efforts, the Raiders did not make it easy for them. In the third quarter, Raiders safety Tre’von Moehrig intercepted a pass from Mahomes, giving the Raiders a chance to turn the game around. However, the Raiders’ offense struggled and turned the ball over on downs on their next drive. With just over two minutes left in the game, Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II connected with wide receiver D.J. Turner for a touchdown, cutting the deficit to seven points. However, the Raiders were unable to get the ball back, and Kansas City secured the victory. This win extended the Chiefs’ winning streak to 13 games, dating back to their game against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 31.
With the victory, the Chiefs maintained their undefeated record for the season, while the Raiders dropped to 2-6. Despite the loss, the Raiders put up a strong fight against their division rivals and gave them everything they could handle. Mahomes’ second touchdown pass of the game was thrown to rookie receiver Xavier Worthy, who had four catches for 37 yards.
