Chiefs clinch playoff spot with 'ugly win' over Raiders

Related Topics: Kansas City Chiefs

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs secured a playoff spot for the 10th straight season with their 19-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday -- but to some of the players, this clinching didn't necessarily feel like the others.

The Chiefs had to go to the wire to outlast the 2-10 Raiders, with the game being decided when Kansas City recovered a Las Vegas fumble with 11 seconds remaining. The Chiefs then ran out the clock with one snap to secure another victory.

They are 11-1, but five of their wins were decided even later than this one.
