The Kansas City Chiefs delivered a dominant performance in their NFL Week 7 matchup, shutting out the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0. This emphatic victory marked their first regular-season shutout since 2011 and showcased their strength on both offense and defense.
Patrick Mahomes led the charge with 286 passing yards and three touchdowns, spreading the ball to nine different receivers. Rashee Rice made a triumphant return, catching two touchdowns and energising the offense. Kansas City scored on their first five possessions, putting the game out of reach early and allowing Mahomes to rest in the fourth quarter.

Defensively, the team was equally impressive, holding the Raiders to just three first downs and under 100 total yards. The relentless pressure from Chris Jones and the defensive line kept the Raiders off balance, ensuring a lopsided result. The team’s preparation and execution were evident throughout the game, setting a high standard for the weeks ahead.
The victory also highlighted the team’s chemistry and resilience, as they embraced a “made our own luck” mindset. The win improved their record to 4-3, placing them firmly in the AFC West race. With this momentum, Kansas City is beginning to resemble the championship-calibre team fans have come to expect.
