Chiefs roar back to win after Raiders’ questionable two-point attempt

Patrick Mahomes threw four touchdown passes to Travis Kelce, the Chiefs overcame an early 17-point deficit along with a dubious roughing-the-passer penalty, and Kansas City extended their mastery of the Las Vegas Raiders by holding on for a 30-29 victory Monday night.

But the play was reviewed and Adams failed to get both feet in bounds, and Carr threw incomplete on fourth-and-one with 47 seconds left before the Chiefs ran out the clock.

Carr finished with 241 yards passing, and Jacobs ran for 154 yards and a score, as the Raiders (1-4) lost to the Chiefs for the fourth straight time. Daniel Carlson was three for three on field goals, extending his streak to 38 in a row. What he wouldn’t have given for a chance at No 39.

The game of twists and turns began with the Raiders failing to score on their opening drive for the first time all season. They made
