The Kansas City Chiefs’ ups and downs were on full display on Monday night when the team lost a fourth-quarter lead against the Philadelphia Eagles and lost the game 21-17. The team suffered a handful of crucial drops and didn’t seem to be the high-flying offense everyone is used to.

"It’s penalties. Miscues. We’ve got to find ways to score," Patrick Mahomes said after the loss. "The defense is playing great football. Has been all year. On offense, we’ve got to find ways to finish."

The Chiefs will play the Las Vegas Raiders on the road and it could be a good time for the AFC West rival to catch their opponents napping. The Raiders are only two games behind Kansas City in the AFC West and all it takes is the ball to bounce the right way to get a win.

Las Vegas put up a fight against the Miami Dolphins but lost last week, 20-13.
