KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – As usual, the Oakland-Kansas City game came down to a last-second field goal. Only this time it was the Chiefs who made the winning kick.

Trent Green hit Marc Boerigter for 16 yards on fourth-and-14, then Morten Andersen booted a 35-yard field goal with four seconds left, lifting Kansas City to a 27-24 victory Sunday.

In three of the four previous games here between the two old rivals, the Raiders won on field goals by Sebastian Janikowski.

And it was Janikowski’s 41-yarder that knotted it at 24 with 2:18 left after Phillip Buchanon made a boneheaded mistake following his 27-yard return of Jason Baker’s short punt. Buchanon drew a 15-yard penalty when he took off his helmet in an apparent celebration, pushing the Raiders back to the Kansas City 41.

The Chiefs (10-1), who took their first loss last week at Cincinnati, maintained their one-game lead for home-field advantage in the AFC and swept the Raiders (3-8) for the first time since 1998.

After Andersen’s 42-yard field goal gave the Chiefs a 24-14 lead, Jerry Rice caught a milestone touchdown pass from Rick Mirer.

Mirer, under pressure from a blitzing linebacker, snapped off a pass down the middle and Rice caught it about the 20, beating Eric Warfield. The 41-year-old Rice then stepped away from Warfield and sped into the end zone with reception No. 1,500 and TD catch No. 193, both NFL records.

The Raiders got their second TD of the day on Tyrone Wheatley’s tackle-busting 15-yard run in the third quarter. That made it 21-14. Mirer ran 13 yards through the vacated middle of the defense for Oakland’s first TD with 1:50 left in the first half, cutting Kansas City’s lead to 14-7.

But Green answered by completing five straight passes in a six-play, 69-yard drive, flipping a 1-yard TD pass to Jason Dunn with 22 seconds left in the half.

On the Chiefs’ second possession of the game, Priest Holmes took a pass in the right flat and went 36 yards to the 25. Then Derrick Blaylock took a wide pitch on the next play and sped into the end zone.

A few minutes later, the Chiefs stopped the Raiders on fourth down. Then they marched 68 yards to take a 14-0 lead on Holmes’ 2-yard run. Holmes, whose 15 TDs rushing lead the NFL, had 91 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving. He went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the third straight year.

Tempers flared when Chris Cooper gave Green a shove as the quarterback was running of bounds, sending him tumbling over a metal bench on the Oakland sideline. Green yelled at Cooper as several teammates came to his aid, but no punches were thrown.

Oakland safety Derrick Gibson was carefully loaded onto a stretcher and removed from the field in the second quarter. The Raiders later said he had movement in his extremities, and was taken to a hospital for observation.
