Justin Watson’s second-quarter spice spurs offense to victory in Vegas

Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports Kansas City’s veteran receiver served up a spark on Sunday. Typically cool, calm and collected, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson stepped out of his element Sunday. Seconds after securing a 3-yard touchdown catch from Patrick Mahomes, Watson stepped facemask-to-facemask with Raiders linebacker Robert Spillane, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and sparking a second-half comeback for Kansas City’s offense. “Out of character a little bit for myself,” Watson admitted Thursday. “I was supposed to be on...

In coming games, Chiefs will have less rest than their opponents — but there’s a plan

Photo by Candice Ward/ In true Andy Reid fashion, Kansas City has someone on top of a major scheduling irregularity.

For the coming “Sunday Night Football” matchup with the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City is coming off a game in Sunday’s late-afternoon window — while the Packers played in the early game on Thanksgiving...

Examining the Chiefs’ team health — and their AFC foes entering December
