There wasn’t much suspense to Kansas City’s regular-season final with the Las Vegas Raiders Sunday, not with the Chiefs racing out to a 21-3 halftime and heading off any serious challenge in closing out a 14-3 campaign with a 31-13 victory over their rivals. But the pursuit of several statistical milestones for some of the Chiefs stars at least kept …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs escaped with a narrow 27-24 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday but they didn’t manage to evade the injury bug impacting at least three players, including Pro Bowl left guard Joe Thuney.
