Chiefs hold off Raiders 21-13 to take control of AFC West
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tyreek Hill didn’t know what to do when he started hearing thousands of people in Arrowhead Stadium chanting his name, even as he stood all alone on the frozen turf waiting for the punt.
“Just give them what they want, I guess,” Hill thought to himself.
So he did, the rookie speedster taking the punt back 78-yards for a game-changing touchdown. It followed shortly after he had hauled in a 36-yard touchdown grab, spurring Kansas City to a 21-13 victory over the Oakland Raiders on a frosty Thursday night and into control of the AFC West.
“It gave me chills on the sideline,” said Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, who had 261 yards passing with a touchdown and an interception. “The whole stadium is chanting his name and he answers — that was one of the coolest things I’ve seen, for sure.”
