KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have made a habit of winning games in the most improbable of ways.
The way they beat the Raiders on Friday still had Patrick Mahomes and Co. shaking their heads in disbelief.
The two-time MVP watched from the sideline as Las Vegas drove within range of a winning field goal with 15 seconds left, only to botch the snap on its final offensive play, allowing the Chiefs to escape with a 19-17 victory that also secured their 10th consecutive playoff berth — the second-longest streak in NFL history.
“Obviously a big stop in a big moment that got us the win,” Mahomes said.
