The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off to the Las Vegas Raiders and still managed to take a 7-0 lead in the first 20 seconds of the game.
Las Vegas started on its own 25-yard line, but running back Josh Jacobs fumbled on the Raiders' first play from scrimmage. It was scooped up by Chiefs cornerback Mike Hughes and returned 23 yards for a quick touchdown.

Kansas City currently leads the AFC West with an 8-4 record, one game ahead of the 7-5 Los Angeles Chargers, and two ahead of both the 6-6 Raiders and 6-6 Denver Broncos. With high divisional stakes on the line, the Raiders upped the emotional ante just before kickoff by huddling up on the Chiefs logo after warmups.
The Chiefs beat the Raiders, 41-14, when the teams met for the first time in Week 10.
