The Chiefs lead 10-3 at halftime in Kansas City

The Raiders will need to stage a comeback if they want to win at Arrowhead Stadium for the second straight year.

Patrick Mahomes threw a touchdown pass to Justin Watson late in the second quarter to break the 3-3 tie, and the Chiefs maintained their 10-3 lead until halftime. The touchdown pass was the 238th of Mahomes’ career and he now has sole possession of the ball the franchise record in this category.

Mahomes led the Chiefs to the Raiders’ 7-yard line on the game’s first drive, but two incompletions forced them to settle for a Matthew Wright field goal. The Raiders responded with a field goal of their own after a punt conversion, but Daniel Carlson missed from 56 yards, giving the Chiefs a short field to use for their touchdown drive.

The Chiefs got the ball back after forcing a punt with a minute left, and a 34-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins helped set up a 59-yard Wright attempt that fell short.

Mahomes is 15 of 24 for 192 yards and he made contact with tight end Travis Kelce six times for 63 yards. On one of those catches, Kelce passed the ball sideways to running back Samaje Perine, and Perine gained 10 yards to set up Watson’s touchdown.

Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell is 8 of 12 for 107 yards – all eight completions came on throws to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers – in his return to the lineup after missing four games. He was sacked twice by Chris Jones and the Raiders dropped Mahomes three times in a defensive-focused first half.
