The Kansas City Chiefs secured a narrow 19-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes faced significant pressure, being sacked five times for the second consecutive game. This highlights ongoing issues with the left tackle position. Wanya Morris, the starting left tackle, struggled with pass protection, allowing multiple pressures. In response, the Chiefs shifted their offensive line during the game, moving Joe Thuney to left tackle and inserting Mike Caliendo at left guard. To address the left tackle problem, the Chiefs signed veteran D.J. Humphries, a former Pro Bowler, who is expected to be ready for their next game against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 8.
