KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Tyreek Hill had touchdowns receiving and on a punt
return, Kansas City’s defense made life miserable for Oakland quarterback Derek
Carr, and the Chiefs beat the Raiders 21-13 on a frigid Thursday night to take
control of the AFC West.
Charcandrick West also had a touchdown run for the Chiefs (10-3). They moved
into a first-place tie with Oakland (10-3) but holds the tiebreaker with two
wins over their longtime divisional rival.
Carr was 17 of 41 for 117 yards passing, though the ugly stat line wasn’t
entirely his fault.
Seth Roberts dropped just about everything thrown at him, Amari Cooper couldn’t
adjust to a long throw for a would-be touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and
several more passes were dropped to the rock-hard turf of Arrowhead Stadium on a
night when wind chills approached single digits.
Alex Smith threw for 261 yards with a touchdown and an interception to help the
Chiefs, returning home after back-to-back road wins, beat Oakland for the
seventh time in their last eight meetings.
Kansas City continues its three-game home stand December 18th against
Tennessee.
