Chiefs' defense preserves slim lead over Raiders in AFC West

MEXICO CITY -- The Kansas City Chiefs can win an important game even when Patrick Mahomes isn't at his best. Mahomes had the lowest passing yardage total for a first half of his career (63 yards) on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, and even though he came alive in the second half, the biggest plays of a 24-17 win were provided by the defense.

The Chiefs' two big-money offseason additions, end Frank Clark and safety Tyrann Mathieu, each had big plays. Clark had five quarterback pressures, including one that led to an interception.
