Travis Kelce ended his touchdown drought on Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 to remain undefeated this season.

Kelce hadn’t scored a goal in the regular season since November 20, 2023 against the Philadelphia Eagles – 12 games to be exact. He didn’t make it to 13th place. Instead, Kelce found space in the end zone in the second quarter and Patrick Mahomes threw a sharp pass to tie the score.

Kelce led the team with 10 catches for 90 yards.

Mahomes was 27 of 38 with 262 passing yards, two touchdown passes and one interception. Mahomes’ second touchdown pass was thrown to Xavier Worthy. The rookie receiver had four catches for 37 yards.

The Raiders gave the Chiefs everything they could. In the third quarter, the Raiders trailed by four points when Tre’von Moehrig intercepted a pass from Mahomes. But the offense stalled and turned the ball over on downs on the next drive.

With approximately 2:03 minutes remaining in the game, Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II found wide receiver DJ Turner for a touchdown. Las Vegas cut the deficit to seven points but couldn’t get the ball back.

Kansas City has won 13 straight games against the Cincinnati Bengals since December 31st.
