Chiefs Blank Raiders 31–0; KC Back Over .500

The Kansas City Chiefs demolished the Las Vegas Raiders 31–0 at Arrowhead, with Patrick Mahomes completing 26 of 35 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns as Kansas City regained momentum and moved back over .500. Las Vegas managed just three first downs and 95 yards on 30 plays, a historically inept offensive performance that dropped the Raiders to 2–5. Coach Pete Carroll said he was "surprised" the team isn't further along, explained limiting blitzes because Mahomes handles pressure well, and acknowledged execution breakdowns on several key plays. Analysts blamed poor playcalling, injuries to key weapons including Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers, limited involvement from rookie Ashton Jeanty, and Geno Smith's inconsistency (seven TDs, 10 INTs through seven weeks) for the collapse. The Raiders head into their Week 8 bye needing to regroup to address offensive issues for the second half of the schedule. Off the field, Brittany Mahomes drew attention by wearing a custom outfit featuring Patrick's image while celebrating the Chiefs' dominant win.
