The Kansas City Chiefs have pulled off yet another great escape after holding on for a dramatic Black Friday victory over the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium.
While trailing 19-17 with just over 20 seconds on the clock, the Raiders had a golden opportunity to get themselves into field-goal range and snatch a famous win over the back-to-back Super Bowl champions on their own turf.
Yet when the ball was snapped on a third-and-three, Las Vegas quarterback Aidan O’Connell was somehow looking elsewhere when it came flying in his direction, meaning he fumbled it and allowed Kansas City to secure a game-winning turnover.
The Chiefs’ latest nail-biting victory means they have already secured a playoff berth in Week 13 as they eye an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl.
Andy Reid’s team are now 11-1 this season, with their only defeat coming against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
Nevertheless, there had already been plenty of lucky escapes for them prior to O’Connell’s shocking late fumble on Black Friday.

Back in Week 10, the Chiefs held on for a 16-14 victory over the Denver Broncos after miraculously blocking a potential game-losing field goal right at the death.
They also got the better of the Denver Broncos in their second outing of the season with a last-gasp field goal, while doing the same to the Carolina Panthers last weekend.
And Friday’s win over the Raiders was the 14th consecutive game decided by one possession that Kansas City has won.
