The Kansas City Chiefs snuck out of Allegiant Stadium with their eighth win of the 2023 season after a gritty road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12.
Both teams played with their hair on fire in this game, and while Kansas City managed to claw its way back from a 14-point deficit in the first half, each squad had plenty to be proud of in the divisional contest.
Patrick Mahomes played one of his most complete games of the season, Isiah Pacheco scored two touchdowns, and the Chiefs’ pass rush was relentless against rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell, despite only tallying a single sack.
While this game wasn’t the blowout many of Kansas City’s fans were hoping for after a crushing defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, the win keeps the Chiefs in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs later in the season.
Check out some of the top reactions to Kansas City’s win from Twitter:
So the @Chiefs moves to 17-3 with Mahomes as QB after a loss.. and here’s the ridiculous part: The Chiefs were down 14-0. With the win today Kansas City is now 15-11 with Mahomes when trailing by double digits. Thats a .580 winning percentage . No other QB is even at .500

The Chiefs waste 6-8 touches a game by trying to get everyone involved. They really honed into today on who their best players are and most importantly they protected the football.

That was the first win that’s really reminded me of the championship teams of the past for the Chiefs.
The offense rises to the occasion every time they’re down or doubted and today was no different.
This offense is only going to improve (as expected) and will be dangerous…

After all that, the Chiefs win by 14 points.
If that doesn't sound very notable, keep in mind that Patrick Mahomes has lost a game by more than 8 points just four times in his career.
