The Kansas City Chiefs entered the weekend with two victories in the last six days — the latest clinching a spot in the AFC playoffs. The 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday evening was tight, and the Chiefs’ defense was bailed out by a self-inflicted error by the Raiders’ center-quarterback exchange.
Linebacker Nick Bolton pounced to the fumble recovery, sealing the win — but he was aware of the plays that put them in such a stressful position. In his post-game press conference, Bolton pointed out an emphasis for the Chiefs’ defense that the unit struggled with against the Raiders.
