Notes:  Another close game that wasn't decided until the final minutes ended in the Chiefs' favor Sunday. Larry Johnson scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter and S Jarrad Page had another clinching interception in the final minute to seal Kansas City's ninth straight win over the Raiders, 12-10.

 

It marked RB Priest Holmes' return from a two-year absence from a neck injury.

 

Kansas City (4-3) now has the longest winning streak ever against the Raiders (2-4), breaking a tie with San Diego. But eight of the wins have been by seven points or fewer as the Chiefs once again came up with the one big play down the stretch.

 

Page’s interception of Daunte Culpepper's throw with 35 seconds left on Sunday gave the Chiefs their fourth win in five games, sending them into their bye week in sole possession of first place in the AFC West.

 

Notes: RB Larry Johnson has scored Kansas City's last 35 TDs rushing since Priest Holmes scored Oct. 21, 2005, against Miami. ... Kansas City DE Jared Allen had two sacks, giving him eight in five games this season. ... Head Coach Lane Kiffin opted to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the 17 midway through the second quarter, but RB LaMont Jordan was stuffed by Page for no gain.
