For the 14th time in the last 16 games, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders.

And this time, it wasn’t even close.

The Chiefs had 30 first downs. The Raiders had 3. They’re the first NFL team to finish with just three first downs since 2008… when the Raiders had three… with JaMarcus Russell as quarterback.

A big reason for the Chiefs’ offensive surge? Wide Receiver Rashee Rice made his 2025 debut, and immediately made an impact. He had seven catches for 42 yards and two touchdowns as he reignited his connection with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“It was great to have him back,” said head coach Andy Reid after the game. “You saw the trust that Pat has in him, which is so important for Pat and the guys. It was great. I thought the whole receiving crew did a nice job, but it was great to have him back in there. The energy he brings is tremendous.”

Kansas City’s offense scored touchdowns on each of its first four drives. Overall they scored 31 points on over 400 yards of total offense. They’re now 4-3 and still in the thick of the AFC West division.

Despite their slow start to the year for Kansas City, having Xavier Worthy and Rice back on the field together has helped ignite the offense.

“This is probably the most consistent we’ve been able to play and kind of stack games together,” Mahomes said. “Obviously, our record is still not where we want it to be, but you can see from the offense and defense, we’ve had bright moments this season. Now it seems like we’re coming together as a team.”
