KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs recovered a botched snap while the Las Vegas Raiders were within range of a go-ahead field goal with 15 seconds remaining, preserving a 19-17 victory for Kansas City.

The Chiefs secured their 10th consecutive playoff berth with the win.

The Raiders were at the Kansas City 32 when Andre James snapped the ball and quarterback Aidan O’Connell wasn’t expecting it.

Nick Bolton jumped on the fumble for Kansas City.

The Chiefs have won 14 straight games decided by one possession. Patrick Mahomes threw for 306 yards and a touchdown for Kansas City.
