KAREEM HUNT ran for 116 yards and a touchdown to help the Kansas City Chiefs get back on track in the AFC West.
The Chiefs defence also stepped up to shut down the Oakland Raiders offence and end a four-game losing streak.
Alex Smith threw for 268 yards and Charcandrick West had a touchdown run for the Chiefs, who held the Raiders without points until Marshawn Lynch’s 22-yard touchdown run with 8:51 to go.
By that point, the Chiefs were cruising toward their 14th win in 15 divisional games and a 7-6 record in a crowded AFC West race.
Carr was 24 of 41 for 211 yards with a touchdown and two picks, a far cry from his performance when the teams met in October.

Carr threw for 417 yards and three touchdowns that day, including the winning toss to Michael Crabtree on the final play of the game.
That loss was part of a midseason slump for Kansas City in which they lost six games out of seven.
The Raiders tried to make it interesting late, recovering an onside kick after Lynch’s TD run.
Carr connected with Jared Cook on fourth down for another score, and the 2-point conversion trimmed what had been a 26-0 deficit to 26-15 in a matter of minutes.
But after receiving the kickoff, the Chiefs’ Albert Wilson made a juggling catch to convert a third down, and that allowed the reigning AFC West champs to mostly run out the clock.
