Patrick Mahomes’ trick play underscores embarrassing day for Raiders in loss to Chiefs | NFL.com
Patrick Mahomes got under center. He surveyed the defense. He barked a couple of times, then muttered so loudly that not only the Raiders could hear him but also the TV cameras, which didn’t have time to censor some choice language.
“This play never (bleeping) works, man!” Mahomes yelled.
It was all a ruse. And the Raiders were fooled. They relaxed ever-so-slightly, thinking the Chiefs were trying to draw them off and ultimately would punt. So when Mahomes snapped the ball a second later, and handed to Kareem Hunt, he had enough room to pick up the first down. The Chiefs finished off the drive with another touchdown, and they never looked back in a 31-0 victory — their most lopsided shutout of the Raiders in the 133 times that the two teams have met.
Winner: Andy Reid
Reid’s Chiefs looked like they might finally be returning to title-caliber form in a prime-time rout of the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Everything finally clicked against the Raiders, though, with Patrick Mahomes greatly benefiting from the 2025 debut of Rashee Rice. The formerly suspended wide receiver showed up with seven catches and two scores to balance out Reid’s offensive arsenal.
Jayden Daniels exits Commanders’ loss; MRI on hamstring next | ESPN
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a right hamstring injury early in the third quarter against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and later was ruled out, yet another blow to a banged-up Washington offense in an eventual 44-22 loss.
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Daniels will have an MRI on the hamstring Monday. Washington (3-4) next plays at Kansas City (4-3) on Oct. 27.
Daniels was not walking with a limp in the locker room after the game. Quinn said his star QB “definitely wanted” to play after the injury, which he suffered with 11:53 left in the third quarter when Dallas linebacker Shemar James had a clear path to him on a first-and-10 rush. Daniels was about to throw, but with James in his face, he pulled the ball down. Then when James hit him, Daniels lost the ball and, while being tackled, hurt his hamstring.

Kansas City Chiefs‘ AFC dominance. Joke is on you if you thought this season was going to be any different. Their 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday was as one-sided as an NFL game could be.
