Kansas City defeated Las Vegas on Sunday in a meeting between unbeaten AFC West rivals.

Kansas City defeated Las Vegas on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in a matchup between 3-0 AFC West rivals. The Raiders pushed the Chiefs to the limit and made them uncomfortable, coming close enough that their coach believed at halftime they were about to prove they could win. It marked the first time in the rivalry's history, dating to the formation of the American Football League in 1960, that both teams had faced each other unbeaten.

The defeat was the Raiders' first loss of the season. Kansas City's victory underscores their status as contenders after what The Guardian describes as a lost season in 2025, with the unbeaten Chiefs led by Patrick Mahomes.
