Why the Rest of the AFC Should Fear the Ascending Chiefs

The Chiefs’ embarrassment of the Raiders was complete and total on Sunday afternoon. 

Pick a stat. Kansas City outgained Las Vegas 436 to 93. The Chiefs had 30 first downs, holding the Raiders to three—the lowest total any team in the league has had since 2008. They had seven pass catchers total at least 28 yards, while rushing for 152 yards and a touchdown. Patrick Mahomes also threw for 286 yards on 8.2 yards per attempt with three touchdowns. Rashee Rice caught two touchdowns in his return from a six-game suspension, while Travis Kelce had another quality game with 54 yards.
