Raiders News: Las Vegas’ AFC West slide continues with Broncos’, Chiefs’ wins

The Las Vegas Raiders fell further behind in the AFC West following a Week 9 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers and victories by the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 26-21 behind two touchdown passes from Bo Nix, while the Chiefs secured a dominant 35-12 win over the New York Jets featuring three total touchdowns from Kenneth Walker III.
