Fireworks were set off Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium, literally and figuratively. Chiefs and Raiders meet for first time of 2022 season with nearly 750 yards combined, Patrick Mahomes throws to Travis Kelcher, Derek Carr feeds Davante Adams. Despite a hot start in Las Vegas, with 17 unanswered points in the game, Kansas City remains at the top. Kelce paved the way with ‘Monday Night Football’ record – record four touchdown receptions for 30-29 victory to keep Chiefs 4-1 in AFC top of the Western Conference standings, while dropping Josh McDaniels’ team’s yearly record to 1-4.
After the Raiders lost their lead, Carr went all out for a late comeback, hitting Adams with a deep TD in the fourth quarter to pull it back by one. But McDaniels opted for two instead at 30. The Chiefs’ defense remained solid, stuffing an otherwise productive Josh Jacobs on the goal line. Meanwhile, Mahomes made money targeting Kelce, who also set a franchise record for TD catches by tight end.
Stay tuned for the rest of Monday night’s AFC West clash.
