Kelce became the first player in "Monday Night Football" history
to catch four touchdown passes, and he tied the franchise's
single-game record for any player. It was also the most ever by
a Kansas City tight end as he helped the Chiefs overcome a 17-0
deficit.
Mahomes threw scoring strikes of 1, 4, 8 and 1 yard as the
Chiefs (4-1) defeated the Raiders (1-4) for the ninth time in
the teams' past 10 meetings after stopping Las Vegas' two-point
conversion run just inches from the goal line with 4:27
remaining.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling had six receptions for 90 yards for
Kansas City, while Kelce finished with seven catches for 25
yards. Jerick McKinnon rushed for a team-high 53 yards on eight
carries in the Chiefs' 14th win over the Raiders in the past 16
meetings.
Kansas City's rally overshadowed a great game by Las Vegas
running back Josh Jacobs, who ran for a career-high 154 yards
and a touchdown on 21 carries. He also had five catches for 39
yards.
Las Vegas' Derek Carr completed 19 of 30 passes for 241 yards,
including two long touchdowns to Davante Adams, who finished
with three catches for 124 yards.
After trailing 20-10 at halftime, the Chiefs pulled within 20-17
when Mahomes capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive with a 4-yard
touchdown pass to Kelce with 9:25 left in the third quarter.
The Raiders punted on their ensuing possession, and Mahomes
drove the Chiefs 57 yards in eight plays for another TD. Kansas
City took the lead for good, 24-20 with 3:20 left in the third
quarter, on an 8-yard touchdown Mahomes pass to Kelce.
Daniel Carlson's 47-yard field goal pulled the Raiders to within
24-23 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.
The Chiefs responded when Mahomes, who hit on 29 of 43 passes,
tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Kelce for a 30-23 lead with
7:25 left. Mahomes' two-point conversion pass was incomplete.
Carr then threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Adams with 4:27 left
to pull the Raiders to within 30-29, but Jacobs was stopped a
few inches shy of the goal line as he tried to run for the
two-point conversion.
The Raiders got the ball back on their 7-yard line with 2:29
left and drove to their 46-yard line before turning the ball
over on downs with 41 seconds remaining.
