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.
