Monday Night Football: Raiders 29 vs 30 Chiefs summary: stats, and highlights | NFL Week 5
The Kansas City Chiefs had to mount a huge comeback to beat the Las Vegas Raiders under the lights in Arrowhead Stadium as Week 5 came to a close with a bang. Tight end Travis Kelce had a Monday Night Football record four touchdown catches in the 30-29 victory.
Mahomes continues AFC West dominance
Kansas City came in as one of the top guns in the AFC after a 3-1 start to the season, while the Raiders had something to prove heading into the Week 5 finale. They got their first win of the season against the the Denver Broncos last week, and could make a statement with a victory in KC.
The AFC West was thought of as the toughest division in football this year, but after slow starts from Denver and Las Vegas, that came into question. The Raiders proved just how deep this division is, giving the Chiefs all they could handle on Monday night.
Patrick Mahomes went into the clash 22-3 in AFC West games and had only lost to the Raiders once in eight games coming into the primetime matchup with Las Vegas. It looked like Mahomes was going to add another loss to his Raiders record after a slow start to the first half.
Carr and Adams come out hot
The Raiders went three and out on their first drive and then scored on their next three possessions. A 4th and 1 conversion that went for a 58 yard Davante Adams touchdown put the first points on the board. The Chiefs would miss a field goal on the next possession and the Raiders stretched their lead to 14-0 on a Josh Jacobs one yard touchdown run set up by a couple of KC pass interference penalties.
Jacobs had a career high 157 yards on the ground and the Raiders offense was rolling. Kansas City’s offense stayed silent until there were five minutes left in the second quarter.
Down 17-0, Mahomes found Travis Kelce for the Chiefs' first score of the night. That opened the flood gates for the 33 year old, who just celebrated his birthday earlier this week.
Another questionable roughing the passer flag
We have already seen one dodgy roughing the quarterback penalty this week when Tom Brady was sacked on third down in the late stages of the fourth quarter against Atlanta. The Chiefs were victims of another iffy flag thrown at the end of the first half which gave the Raiders a chance for a field goal to make it 20-7.
Mahomes had enough time to drive the Chiefs into field goal range and Matt Wright hit a 29 yard field goal to make it 20-10 at half.
The Chiefs got the ball back after the break and went right down the field and cut it to a three point game with the second Travis Kelce touchdown of the night. Just five minutes later, the Chiefs were back on the Raiders' door step and Kelce scored his third TD of the game with a zig zagging 8 yard catch and run from one side of the field to the other for a fourth straight scoring drive as the Chiefs took their first lead of the game.
Kelce celebrates b-day with four TDs
Vegas would creep back to within one when a Dan Carlson 47 yard field goal made it 24-23, but the Chiefs answered back with a 13 play drive that ate up almost seven minutes of clock.
The Raiders had origianlly held the Chiefs to a field goal, which Wright missed, but a defensive holding call on the field goal attempt gave the Chiefs a first down - and they would not forgive Vegas for their mistake. Mahomes found Kelce wide open in the back of the end zone for the fourth time, but the Chiefs elected to go for the jugular, but were were unsuccessful on their two point conversion and the Chiefs led by seven with 7:25 to go.
Derek Carr, who finished the game with 241 yards and two touchdowns, would lead the Raiders back down the field on a night where he threw his 200th career touchdown pass. With under five minutes to go, Carr hit Adams on a 48 yard touchdown pass on 3rd and 6 to bring the Raiders within one point.
Vegas coach Josh McDaniels took a big risk, looking to take the lead with over four minutes to go in the game. They handed it off to Josh Jacobs, who was having the night of his life, but the RB was stopped inches short of the goal line and the Chiefs would hang on to the one point lead.
Mahomes in MVP form
After stopping the Chiefs, the Raiders had another chance to take the lead, but Hunter Renfrow and Davante Adams collided on 4th down and Carr’s deep shot fell to no one.
Patrick Mahomes had 292 yards and four touchdowns in the one point win, and Mahomes looks like the out and out MVP favorite through the first five weeks of the season.
The Raiders weren't done. Carr hit Adams on another bomb, this time for 48 yards. Coach McDaniels would go for the two point conversion to take the lead with just over 4 minutes left, but Jacobs was stopped at the goal line.
How Kelce was that wide open after scoring three TD's remains a mystery, but the TD was set up by a defensive holding call on a 4th down field goal try. It gave the Chiefs a first down which then led to the touchdown.
This is the most impressive of Kelce's four TDs on the night. He zigged across the field and then zagged back for the 8 yard TD catch and run.
After FGs from the Raiders and the Chiefs to end the half, KC got the ball to start the third quarter and marched down the field for a 13 play TD drive capped off by this 4 yard Kelce TD.
KC had to wait over 20 minutes to get their first TD, but once Kelce got going he didn't slow down.
Jacobs had a career high game rusing for 154 yards and this touchdown in the 2nd quarter that put the Raiders up by two scores.

Best divison in football?
The AFC West was supposed to be the toughest division in football this year. With Russell Wilson coming to Denver, Justin Herbert a year old and a year wiser, the Raiders getting Davante Adams, and the Chiefs being the Chiefs you would have thought by this time of the season there would be plenty of parity form top to bottom. The Chiefs and the Chargers are holding up their end of the bargain, but the Raiders and Broncos have been disappointing to start the year. There is still a lot of time in the season, and this game will give us a good depiction of just how good this division is from top to bottom. Can any one other than the Chiefs win it this season?
Carr and Adams
It was the match made in heaven leading up to the start of the season. The Raiders went out and brought in Davante Adams, who is not just one of the top receivers in the league, but was one of Derek Carr’s teammates at Fresno State. He is averaging 249 yards a game, but has six TDs and four INTs. Three of those touchdowns have found Davante Adams, but and the receiver is coming off his best week in black and silver. He had 101 yards last week to bring his total to 290 yards (72.5 yards average) through four games.
MahomesVP?
Patrick Mahomes has been in MVP form this season. In four games he has 1,106 yards (276.5 average) with 11 touchdowns and just two intecptions. One of those interceptions came on a desperation heave down the field on the last play of the Colts loss in a game where the special teams single handily lost the game for KC. He seems to save his best for the big stage, so what kind of heroics will he come up with tonight?
Will stars be out tonight?
You have to think this is one of the biggest games at Arrowhead this year. The stars won't just be on the field tonight. The Chiefs have quite the following when it comes to the sports and entertianment world.
Actors Jason Sudeikis Paul Rudd, Eric Stonestreet, and Rob Riiggle are just a few of the famous faces fro Hollywood you are bound to see. Rock star Melissa Ethridge is also a Chiefs die hard. NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer could also be in attendance for tonight's primetime matchupj.
Can Raiders break the streak?
The Raiders know this stadium all too well. Las Vegas (and Oakland) have lost seven of the last eight against the Chiefs, and eight of the last nine in Arrowhead. Derek Carr and the Raiders will be looking to change the course of recent history tonight from KC.
All eyes on him
The Chiefs are becoming quite accustomed to playing under the lights this season. It is just Week 5, but this will be their third game in primetime. Patrick Mahomes is no stranger to the big stage in fact he thrives on it, and not just when he is doing commercials for Subway’s new meatball sandwich called “The Boss.”
LV last week
Las Vegas finally got the monkey off their back with a big win over the Denver Broncos last week. Even though Josh McDaniels is a quarterback minded coach, the Raiders recipe for success was on the ground against one of the top defensive teams in the league. Josh Jacobs had 144 yards and two touchdowns on 28 rushes.
KC last week
The Chiefs had a big bounce back win over the Tampa Bay Buccanners after dropping their first game of the season to the Colts two Sundays ago. Patrick Mahomes had his magic on display in the stadium he lost the Super Bowl in just two years ago. Mahomes threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns, including one of the highlights of his career on a touchdown to Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
