Watch: Henry Ruggs impresses in Raiders' upset of Chiefs

The Las Vegas Raiders showed up to Arrowhead Stadium and impressed on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Quarterback Derek Carr completed 22-of-31 passes for 347 yards and three touchdowns against one interception. While he was impressive at the helm of the offense, so was rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs

Ruggs reeled in two receptions for 118 yards and one touchdown on three targets in Las Vegas' 40-32 win over Kansas City in Week 5, including an impressive grab in the first quarter. 

Ruggs 72-yard touchdown in the second quarter also put the Raiders up 23-21 before the two-minute warning. The extra point made it 24-21. 

Prior to Sunday's game, Ruggs had four receptions for 59 yards and two carries for 11 yards in two games. He missed both Week's 3 and 4 with knee and hamstring issues. 

Running back Josh Jacobs also had a big day for the Raiders, carrying the ball for 77 yards and two touchdowns. 

The Raiders improve to 3-2 on the season while the Chiefs drop to 4-1. Kansas City will take on the Buffalo Bills next week while Las Vegas is slated to take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
