There was nothing but smiles on the Chiefs sideline at the end of the “Sunday Night Football” game against the Raiders in Las Vegas.

The Chiefs crushed the Raiders 41-14 and moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC West. In the final minutes of the game at Allegiant Stadium, a faint sound of a Chiefs cheer could be heard.

On Twitter, Chiefs fans relished the victory over their longtime AFC rival and moving into first place in the division.

This is the Chiefs team that we've been waiting for this season. The offense looked back to their normal selves and the defense was locked in all night long. That was a stress free Sunday Night win. 6-4 #ChiefsKingdom and in first place in the AFC West.

All this chat just for us to turn around and top the division by slapping up our direct competition like a used toy.

Doubt us again, see where it ends. #ChiefsKingdom
