Daniel Carlson’s 60-yard field goal split the uprights with eight seconds remaining, delivering a 14-12 Raiders victory that ended Kansas City’s playoff hopes and snapped Las Vegas’s 10-game losing streak. Both teams played without their starting quarterbacks—Patrick Mahomes sidelined with a torn ACL, Geno Smith out with an ankle injury—turning the Week 18 matchup into a defensive slugfest at Allegiant Stadium.
The Raiders recorded eight sacks and held the Chiefs to 168 total yards. Harrison Butker’s 41-yard field goal had given Kansas City a 12-11 lead with 1:01 left before Carlson answered with his career-long kick.

Carlson’s 60-yarder marked the Raiders’ first win over Kansas City at Allegiant Stadium and ended an 11-game losing streak against AFC West opponents. Ashton Jeanty finished his rookie campaign with 975 rushing yards, second among Raiders rookies to Josh Jacobs’s 1,150 in 2019. His 1,321 scrimmage yards broke the franchise rookie record. The Chiefs fell to 6-11, their worst record since 2012 and first losing season in the Patrick Mahomes era.
