Daniel Carlson's late 60-yard FG pushes Raiders over Chiefs

Daniel Carlson booted the game-winning field goal from 60 yards out with eight seconds remaining on Sunday, giving the host Las Vegas Raiders a 14-12 win over the backup-laden Kansas City Chiefs.

Carlson's counterpart Harrison Butker put the Chiefs ahead briefly on a 41-yard field goal with 1:01 remaining, but Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed 21- and 5-yard passes to get the Raiders in range.

That set up Carlson, an eight-year vet, to connect on a new career-long field goal.

Tyree Wilson had two of the Raiders' eight sacks, with two forced fumbles and one safety to lead the defense. Ashton Jeanty rushed for a game-high 87 yards.

The Raiders took a 9-6 lead on a 55-yard field goal by Carlson with 13:16 remaining, wrapping a 10-play, 29-yard drive that lasted nearly six minutes. The Raiders got some insurance on the Chiefs' next offensive possession after Wilson sacked quarterback Shane Buechele in the end zone for a safety that stretched the lead to 11-6.

But on the ensuing kick back to the Raiders, Dylan Laube fumbled the return and the Chiefs recovered near the red zone. Butker kicked a 47-yard field goal, Kansas City forced a three and out and Buechele guided the Chiefs to Butker's fourth field goal of the day for the 12-11 lead.

Buechele took over for Chiefs starter Chris Oladokun in the third quarter and immediately led the team on a 12-play, 50-yard drive that culminated with a Butker field goal from 40 yards out that tied the game at 6-all with 4:11 remaining in the third quarter. Buechele completed 7 of 14 passes for 88 yards, while Oladokun finished 11 of 17, amassing 58 yards.

The Raiders entered halftime with the lead for just the fourth time this season after capitalizing on a pair of fumbles forced by Wilson in the second quarter. The first came with 11:37 remaining in the frame, setting up a 32-yard field goal for Carlson that tied the game at 3-3.

Rookie Darien Porter recovered the second fumble at the Chiefs' 18-yard line after Wilson stripped it from Oladokun, but the Raiders were unable to move the sticks and score a touchdown. Still, Carlson's second field goal of the day from 23 yards out put the Raiders ahead 6-3 with 1:52 remaining before the break.

The Chiefs opened the scoring with 4:58 remaining in the first quarter on a 36-yard field goal by Butker, capping an eight-play, 36-yard drive.

The two teams combined for 22 first downs (Las Vegas 12, Kansas City 10), just 372 yards of offense (Las Vegas 204, Kansas City 168) and four turnovers (two for each team).
