Raiders had 2 defensive touchdowns for the 2nd consecutive week, including a pick-6 of the awful Patrick Mahomes, and the resurgent Las Vegas defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 20-14 on Christmas at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and remain in the fight for the playoffs with minimum chances but still they have it after today’s victory.
Huge DT Bilal Nichols returned a fumble 8 yards for a TD, and Jack Jones took an interception 33 yards for another score 7 seconds later, as he even had fun with a kid – a Chiefs fan – at the standings as he acted like he was giving him the ball and then took it back.
The Las Vegas Raiders get the final sleigh 🎅
What a divisional win for Las Vegas over Kansas City on Christmas Day.
