Game history

Davante Adams himself had two long touchdowns, 58 and 48 yards, for the Raiders, the second of which gave Las Vegas the chance to tie the game with four and a half minutes remaining.

But, instead of going for the extra point attempt, Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels opted for a two-point conversion to put them back in the lead, but Josh Jacobs – who had shredded the Chiefs defense all night, to the tune of 154 yards and a TD on 21 carries – was stuffed at the goal line.

Check out Davante Adams’ two long touchdowns for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night.

The Raiders got the ball one last time with two-and-a-half minutes remaining, and a long third pass to Adams appeared to put them within goal range. But the play was reviewed and Adams had failed to get both feet inbounds, and Derek Carr threw an incomplete fourth-and-one to virtually end the game.

In his frustration after the loss, Adams pushed a cameraman to the ground as he entered the tunnel leading to the team’s locker room.

Scoring Summary

The Raiders’ loss (1-4) is their fourth in a row against the Chiefs (4-1) and their ninth in the last 10 meetings between the two teams. Adding to their frustration was the fact that the result could have been so different, with Las Vegas taking a 17-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

But the momentum began to change when Kelce first found the end zone for the first of his four scores before halftime, and eventually reached the end zone for the Chiefs.

A highly questionable roughness from the passer call on Kansas City defensive tackle Chris Jones, who called off a big turnover shortly before the break, only served to energize the team, and in particular the coach Andy Reid – who gave referee Carl Cheffers more than a piece of his mind on his way to the locker room.

The Chiefs opened the second half with back-to-back drives capped by Kelce, either side of a Raiders punt, to suddenly give them a 24-20 lead.

That advantage was reduced to 24-23 before replacement kicker Matthew Wright – who hit a 59 yard run before halftime to set the franchise record – snatched a 37 yard left, only for the Raiders defensive end Malcolm Koonce be called up. holding, giving KC an automatic first down, with Mahomes again finding Kelce to extend their lead to 30-23.

The score would end as it started, with Adams finding the end zone with a long touchdown, but the failed two-point conversion to follow allowed the Chiefs to escape with the win.
