The Las Vegas Raiders have one of the worst-ranked defenses in football, but they stepped up big time in the win against Kansas City.
Much of the talk heading into the Las Vegas Raiders Week 5 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs centered on stopping quarterback Patrick Mahomes. One of the best quarterbacks in the league since taking for Alex Smith in Kansas City, Mahomes is a guy who can score at will, and the Raiders went into that banged up on defense.
