Final score: Chiefs handle Raiders 31-13, earn top seed in AFC playoffs

The Kansas City Chiefs had two goals when they landed at McCarran International Airport to play the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18: grab the AFC’s No. 1 seed and sweep the AFC West for the third time since Andy Reid became the head coach in 2013. All it would require was a win over the Raiders in the season finale at Allegiant Stadium. But getting the 31-13 victory they earned on Saturday accomplished another goal: getting a dominating performance against a weaker team.
