Technically...since LV had the week off for the press to relish in their "win" over the SB champs...KC would be 4-2/Raiders 3-2.
That's still not great headline fodder....beating Brady next week would be.
Look... Mahomes is an intentional superstar. The NFL isn't stupid...he's their AFC cash cow. It's only week 6. Chiefs lost back-to-back games at this exact juncture last season....one which helped fuel the Watson/Mahomes post-season re-match. They've been trying to invent a rivalry..
I have no idea what they have planned...but Mahomes losing to Allen is good for business. Chiefs can be good enough to overcome officiating though (see 3 consecutive 50+ yard FGs)
Will we see a Mahomes/Allen rematch this year? Everyone loves a redemption story...
Talking heads would be "Oh no..the Chiefs have regressed"...then they bulldoze the league with Bell.

We'll see if the Chiefs can rebound from their rather not-Chiefs-like performance last Sunday. I think they can, I know they want to, but tonight will show how much the team's player-leaders have done to motivate players to play to their highest potential this evening. [Reply]
