Victory over Raiders
Chiefs become the first NFL team to secure a play-off ticket
With a hard-fought victory, the Kansas City Chiefs have become the first American football team in the US professional league NFL to secure a play-off ticket. The team led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes secured a narrow 19:17 win against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The victory was only secured by a mistake by the Raiders, who put the ball in play too early with seconds remaining and subsequently lost to the defending champions from Kansas City.
The Chiefs had led 16:3 in the third quarter and suddenly found themselves trailing 16:17 at the start of the final quarter. A field goal by kicker Matthew Wright put the Chiefs back in the lead, which in the end was enough for their eleventh win in the twelfth game of the season.
The Chiefs are now also mathematically guaranteed a place in the play-offs. The team is aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl for the third time in a row.
