Travis Kelce ended his touchdown drought on Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 to remain undefeated this season.

Kelce hadn't scored a goal in the regular season since November 20, 2023 against the Philadelphia Eagles – 12 games to be exact. He didn't make it to 13th place. Instead, Kelce found space in the end zone in the second quarter and Patrick Mahomes threw a sharp pass to tie the score.

The Raiders gave the Chiefs everything they could. In the third quarter, the Raiders trailed by four points when Tre'von Moehrig intercepted a pass from Mahomes. But the offense stalled and turned the ball over on downs on the next drive.

With approximately 2:03 minutes remaining in the game, Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II found wide receiver DJ Turner for a touchdown. Las Vegas cut the deficit to seven points but couldn't get the ball back.

Kansas City has won 13 straight games against the Cincinnati Bengals since December 31st.
