Chiefs head into Raiders game hoping offense catches up to their defense

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — No deficit has seemed too large for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ quick-strike offense during a four-season run that includes two Super Bowl titles. “They’ve got a lot of weapons, a lot of guys on both sides of the ball that are impact players,” Las Vegas wide receiver Davante Adams said. After throwing a touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce, Mahomes yelled at Crosby that he “woke up the wrong!” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “They’ve dominated the division since Patrick Mahomes has taken over,” Las Vegas interim coach Antonio Pierce said. “I think it’s important to emphasize how important this game is to the young guys — the blood of this game, the history of this game and how it came about even between the owners.” SEA OF RED When the Chiefs visited last season, so much red in the stands made Allegiant Stadium more like a home game for them.
