Depending on your point of view, the Chiefs are either a team of destiny or the luckiest squad in the NFL.

The Chiefs beat the Raiders 19-17 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in bizarre fashion on Friday.

Las Vegas was driving for a potential game-winning field goal when the Raiders’ center snapped the ball before quarterback Aidan O’Connell was prepared.

KC linebacker Nick Bolton recovered the fumble and the Chiefs snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

“They don’t rank you on style points,” Amazon Prime TV broadcast announcer Al Michaels noted.

Here is the play that won the game and clinched a playoff spot for the Chiefs. It’s the 10th straight year they’ve made the postseason.
