KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs will make good use of the first-round playoff bye they earned with Sunday's 35-3 win over the Oakland Raiders.
The Chiefs played without several injured starters, including safety Eric Berry, wide receiver Sammy Watkins and running back Spencer Ware. All will benefit from an extra week of rest.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 14 of 24 passes for 281 with two touchdowns and an interception on Sunday. His touchdowns went for 67 yards and 89 yards to Tyreek Hill and Demarcus Robinson, respectively.
