A signature win in Week 10 has given the Kansas City Chiefs sole ownership of the lead in the AFC West after falling a few games behind following a slow start to their season. Now squarely in a position to control their own destiny moving forward, the team is on a hot streak ahead of their matchup against Dallas at Arrowhead next week.
Not everything went perfectly for the Chiefs in this game, but they put together arguably their best performance of their 2021 campaign against one of their most bitter rivals. The Raiders were no match for Kansas City and seemed to still be reeling following the mid-season drama that has clearly crept on the field for them.
Both sides of the ball played well at the same time for Kansas City for the first time this year. This was the defining win of their season so far, and it has the team primed for more success in their seven remaining games. Here are our five biggest takeaways from their 41-14 rout of Las Vegas in the desert on Sunday night.
