MNF: Chiefs Complete 17-Point Comeback Over Raiders Behind 4 TDs from Mahomes & Kelce (30-29)
The Raiders might be the best 1-4 team in NFL history. Despite being tied for the worst record in the NFL, Las Vegas has lost all four games by one score via late-game drama. Monday night in Kansas City was no exception. The Raiders led the Chiefs 17-0 in the 2nd quarter before Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense turned it on. Kansas City outscored Vegas 30-6 over a 30-minute spell (30-23) thanks to four passing touchdowns from Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce, but the Raiders didn’t roll over. Derek Carr found Davante Adams on a 48-yard bomb inside five minutes to play (30-29), but head coach Josh McDaniels opted to go for two. A called run for Josh Jacobs — who had a career-high 154 yards — was stopped inches short. The Raiders made a stop to get the ball back, but a Chiefs’ stop on 4th-and-1 in the final minute closed the door.
Fun Fact:Â Kelce’s four receiving touchdowns set a Monday Night Football record.

Can the Raiders Rise?
The Raiders are tied for last in the NFL with a 1-4 record, but they only have a minus-5 point differential through five games. All four losses have come by six points or less. The good news for Raider fans? Their next six games are very winnable.
