Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday's game wasn't necessarily their point total of 31, which matched their second highest output of the season.
Mahomes was more happy about the numbers zero (as in Chiefs turnovers) and one (as in their dropped passes). The Chiefs have failed most of the year to match their offensive might from previous seasons, but Mahomes said he had the sense all along that if the Chiefs cleaned up their game as they did on Sunday, good things would automatically follow.
Josh Jacobs rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown for the Raiders (5-7), ending a 12-game streak in which the Chiefs did not allow a 100-yard rusher.
The NFL's reigning rushing champion also broke 1,000 yards from scrimmage this season to become the only player to reach that mark each year since 2019. He joined Hall of Famer Marcus Allen as the only Raiders backs to accomplish that in their first five seasons.
For the Raiders, the dynamic receiving duo of Meyers and Davante Adams accumulated 152 receiving yards of the Raiders' total 358 offensive yards against a stingy Chiefs defense. In his fifth start, O'Connell went 23-of-33 for 248 yards and the touchdown to Meyers
The lone sack of the day for the Raiders came from Maxx Crosby, who's now at 11.5 total for the season.
Notably, the Silver and Black didn't commit a penalty the entirety of the game.
Las Vegas now looks to regroup during their bye week. The rest and recovery could pay dividends heading into the late stretch of their season.
Rice's biggest play was a 39-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter that helped break open what at the time was a close game. Rice made the reception at the 35 and the rest of the play was him running after the catch and breaking an attempted tackle near the end zone.
Chiefs had been waiting for from any of their wide receivers, and it came from the second-round draft pick.
"I think we've only scratched the surface, honestly,'' Mahomes said of Rice. "I think you see us hitting him kind of around the line of scrimmage, [but] I think he can do some of the vertical threat stuff and he has speed and he has bursts.
