HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders were a mere 103 seconds away from sweeping the Kansas City Chiefs, improving to 7-3 and showing the world on a prime-time stage that, yes, they were indeed for real. A force with which to be reckoned.
Then, quarterback Patrick Mahomes happened.
In 75 seconds, Mahomes matriculated the defending Super Bowl champs 75 yards down the field, finding a ridiculously wide-open Travis Kelce in the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown -- not merely breaking the Raiders' Silver and Black heart, but pulling it from their chest, taking a bite out of it and tossing it in the Allegiant Stadium grass.
