Watch Kelce’s first TD of the night:
The Chiefs were down two touchdown scores when this play happened. Mahomes’ team was near the Las Vegas one-yard line in the third and goal position during the 11th-minute mark of the second quarter. He threw an over-the-middle pass to Kelce who was unsuccessfully chased by the opposition’s safety Tre’von Moehrig.

Travis Kelce also has a rushing touchdown under his name as well, when he scored in a surprise loss against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3.
Earlier in the game, wide receiver Davante Adams opened the scoring for Las Vegas Raiders when he caught a 58-yard long pass from QB Derek Carr and ran into Chiefs’ endzone in the first quarter. The team then increased their lead courtesy of a one-yard rushing TD from running back Josh Jacobs.
Just before half-time, Chiefs punter Matthew Wright scored a 59-yard field goal to make the game 20-10. He had earlier missed a 41-yard FG attempt in the first quarter.
