The Kansas City Chiefs are 4-0 after a 30-27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4!
Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton currently leads the poll for his heroic effort on Sunday, totaling 111 yards on five catches with two red-zone touchdowns. He gained 42 yards on a second-quarter play that set up a field goal before halftime, then caught and ran for 55 yards on a third-down play in the fourth quarter that ended with a very unfortunate injury.
However, defensive end George Karlaftis was a menace for the
Raiders’ offensive line. He finished with five total tackles — including a tackle for loss — a pass defended and six quarterback hits! He accounted for more than half of the team’s hits on Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Running back Kenneth Walker’s 76-yard run was just one of his difference-making plays in Las Vegas. He finished with 177 rushing yards over 22 attempts and scored two touchdowns. The team’s commitment to the run game allowed Walker to break loose and virtually put the game away in the fourth quarter.
Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane finished as the team’s leading tackler (10) while also breaking up a pass and making one tackle behind the line of scrimmage.
Here are the top comments from the post-game poll:

I know you can’t give Delane the nod here, but it turns out this young man is really, really good at football.
Sticky in coverage and great at the run D as well. I have a feeling he’s going to be viewed as one of the best corners in football very soon.

Bassa. I feel like he made the play of the game that won it for KC.

Even if he hadn’t gotten hurt, Thornton was making clutch play after clutch play. I would say he had a slight edge over K9, but the injury while making a game changing play seals it for me imo.

Hard to hand it to anyone but the guy who had a career day before disaster struck.
138 of Mahomes 225 total passing yards were the 3 long completions to Thornton and Worthy.
With some time to sleep on it, who gets your game ball from Week 4?
