Raiders 14-12 Chiefs: Daniel Carlson's 60-Yard FG Seals Win! Game Recap (Jan 4, 2026) (2026)

Raiders' Daniel Carlson seals victory over Chiefs with 60-yard field goal, ending a 10-game losing streak. Carlson's career-long kick gives Las Vegas a 14-12 win, with the Raiders also ending an 11-game skid against AFC West opponents. The Chiefs, who had won all previous meetings in Las Vegas, lose their sixth straight game. Raiders' Ashton Jeanty rushes for 87 yards, breaking a rookie record. Raiders coach Pete Carroll praises Jeanty's performance. The New York Giants' victory over the Dallas Cowboys guarantees the Raiders the top pick in the NFL draft. Carroll's future with the Raiders is uncertain. Travis Kelce's future with the Chiefs is also in question. Both teams treat the finale like a preseason game, with several key players missing due to injuries. The Raiders' Aidan O'Connell makes a crucial 21-yard pass to Michael Mayer, setting up Carlson's winning kick. O'Connell returns from injury, while the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew are out with knee injuries. The Chiefs' Chris Jones records two sacks, while the Raiders' Tyree Wilson has two sacks and a safety. Injuries: Chiefs' Trey Smith (ankle) and Raiders' Geno Smith (ankle), Adam Butler (bicep), Kolton Miller (ankle), Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), and Dylan Parham (illness) did not play. Raiders' Isaiah Pola-Mao (shoulder) also went out late in the second quarter.
