Early in the game, Mahomes was seen on the sidelines tearing into his offensive line. The Chiefs punted on their first three drives and didn’t get on the board until the second quarter. Isiah Pacheco took a direct snap and scored from 12 yards out. Kansas City was up 7-3 at that point.

But the Chiefs turned the ball over on consecutive drives, ending in Raiders touchdowns. Raiders defensive lineman Bilal Nichols recovered a fumble for a touchdown and Jack Jones picked off Mahomes and returned the interception 33 yards for a touchdown.

At halftime, the Raiders were up 17-7.
