Kansas City Chiefs Achieve First Career Shutout Under Andy Reid, Defeat Las Vegas Raiders 31-0

The Kansas City Chiefs delivered a commanding 31-0 shutout victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 7 AFC West matchup, marking the first shutout in head coach Andy Reid's career. Reid praised the team's energy, balanced contributions across offense, defense, and special teams, and effective game plans from coordinators. Patrick Mahomes excelled, throwing for 286 yards and three touchdowns before the fourth quarter, while Rashee Rice made a strong return with seven catches and two touchdowns. The Chiefs' defense stifled the Raiders, holding them to 95 total yards and three first downs, with the Raiders failing to reach the red zone. Despite the blowout, the Chiefs opted to kneel the ball with over two minutes remaining, a decision seen as both merciful and somewhat disrespectful. Historically, the Chiefs have dominated this rivalry, with Mahomes boasting a 12-2 record against the Raiders and Reid holding a 20-4 record, underscoring Kansas City's continued upper hand in the series.
