TOUCHDOWN! Chiefs 30-19 Raiders 3:02, 4th quarter
Disastrous for the Raiders. They had the lead a second ago and now a fumble hands the ball straight back to KC. Waker does the rest as he shreds the tiring Raiders defense for 22 yards. Game over.
TOUCHDOWN! Chiefs 23-19 Raiders 3:21, 4th quarter
Kansas City capitalise on the excellent field position afforded by Tyquan Thornton’s coverage busting sprint. Thornton easily the player of the match regardless of who wins. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.

LA with a likely consolation score.
Chiefs 17-19 Raiders 3:35, 4th quarter
Oh no. Tyquan Thornton’s day is completely ruined as he sustains a horror lower leg injury after a monster 55-yard reception from Mahomes.

Denver’s defense up against it as both starting corners Riley Moss and Patrick Surtain are out injured and will not return while receiver Pat Bryant has just been carted into the locker room.
The Broncos have the ball over midfield though with the 30-yard play Bryant ended up injured from. JK Dobbins then moves the chains to San Fran’s 30-yard line. Promising stuff.

Chiefs 10-13 Raiders 11:31, 3rd quarter
Big stop for the Chiefs who break up a short pass on 4th down. Did Las Vegas get greedy after deciding to turn down a field goal they scored after a penalty on the Chiefs? Maybe. Kansas City take over on offense looking to make them pay.

Kicker by the name of Dicker puts the Chargers two scores behind at the break.

TOUCHDOWN! Chargers 3-20 Seahawks 0:41, 2nd quarter
Game over? Probably.
Broncos 3-3 49ers 0:11, 2nd quarter
Surtain is struggling to make it off the field and looks to be done for the day. That will leave a big hole in Denver’s secondary for the rest of the night. Purdy finds Evans again to put the Niners in field goal territory, just.
