The statistics from the game say it all. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished the showdown with 286 passing yards, three touchdowns, a 74.3 completion percentage and 28 rushing yards, according to ESPN research. On top of that, he completed a pass to nine different receivers.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City also outgained the Raiders in yardage 434-94, in first-downs 30-3 and in time of possession by nearly 25 minutes, according to NFL research and Stat Muse. The Chiefs also went 9-of-15 on third-down, while the Raiders were 0-of-7. So, it was a good day for the Chiefs and a bad one for the Raiders.<\/p>\n<p>But, one negative that came out of that game for the Chiefs is that wide receiver Xavier Worthy got into trouble with the NFL.\u00a0Every week during the regular NFL season, the league penalizes players for their actions in the previous week\u2019s games. The NFL notes on their website that these actions are \u201cto protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures.\u201d The new tally of players getting slapped with NFL punishments goes up every Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Xavier Worthy of the Kansas City Chiefs in Hot Water<\/h2>\n<p>In the NFL\u2019s report for Week 7, Worthy was given a $11,593 fine for \u201ctaunting\u201d and \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct.\u201d During that incident, during the third quarter of the game, with 10 minutes and 10 seconds remaining on the clock, Mahomes threw a pass to Worthy for a 12-yard first down and drew a defensive holding penalty on Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Darnay Holmes. Following the play, Worthy celebrated by staring down the defender, but the refs didn\u2019t call a taunting penalty. From there, Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco scored a touchdown during that drive making the Chiefs\u2019 lead to 28-0.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/x.com\/MattWaugh7\/status\/1979981851914616997<\/p>\n<p>So, the refs didn\u2019t call a penalty on Worthy during the game, but the NFL thought enough of it after the game to slap him with a fine. According to the NFL, those fines will go to the Professional Athletes Foundation to \u201csupport legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Las Vegas Raiders Player Also Penalized by the NFL<\/h2>\n<p>One Raiders player was also given a fine from the NFL for his actions during the Chiefs game. Isaiah Pola-Mao was slapped with a hefty $17,278 fine for \u201cuse of the helmet\u201d and \u201cunnecessary roughness\u201d during the game.<\/p>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs have some more time to go until they finally get a week off. Their NFL bye week lands on Week 10 for the 2025-26 season. They\u2019re gaining back their momentum in the league this season, with Nick Shook of the NFL\u2019s official website saying, \u201cThe Chiefs are back, and\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0is driving this Ferrari. He was stellar in Kansas City\u2019s dominant showing\u00a0against Las Vegas\u00a0and has already reestablished his connection with\u00a0Rashee Rice, who returned from suspension last week.\u201d He also said the Chiefs are \u201cAFC darlings\u201d again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has been slapped with punishment from the NFL after the team&#8217;s 31-0 win over the Raiders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
