The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t stop Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs much on Monday night. For the second straight game, the former Alabama standout reached career highs for rushing yards and yards from scrimmage.

But the Chiefs stacked up Jacobs when it counted the most to come away with a 30-29 victory. After scoring a touchdown with 4:27 remaining to reduce Kansas City’s lead to one point, the Raiders went for a 2-point conversion rather than kick a tying extra point, and the Chiefs stopped Jacobs short of the goal line.

“I felt like in that situation they had kind of had a lot of momentum, obviously, offensively in the second half,” Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels said. “We had a play that we felt really good about. Thought we would get a look that would give us a shot at it, for sure. We had a chance. We had a fair fight at it. They played it a little bit better than we did.

“Gave ourselves an opportunity to take the lead there, then maybe put a little bit more pressure on them when they had the ball. Nothing more, nothing less. Just trying to be aggressive, trying to win the game.”

Las Vegas got one more chance after that, but quarterback Derek Carr threw incomplete on fourth-and-1 at the Raiders 46 with 41 seconds remaining when two receivers ran into each other.

Kansas City overcame a 17-0 deficit to win, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes throwing four touchdown passes to tight end Travis Kelce. The four TD receptions totaled 14 yards. Kelce became the first player with four touchdown catches in an NFL Monday night game.

Jacobs ran for 154 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries and caught five passes for 39 yards to reach 193 yards from scrimmage against the Chiefs. In Las Vegas’ 32-23 victory over the Denver Broncos on Oct. 2, Jacobs had 144 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries and five receptions for 31 yards for 175 yards from scrimmage.

“He’s a really good back,” McDaniels said. “He’s a really good football player, and he loves football. Give him a lot of credit. …

“I’m proud of his effort. We got to start turning some of his performances into W’s.”

Jacobs scored on a 1-yard run as the Raiders took a 14-0 lead with 14:00 left in the first half.

In addition to Jacobs, five players from Alabama high schools and colleges got on the field during the Las Vegas-Kansas City game:

· Raiders cornerback Anthony Averett (Alabama) is on injured reserve and not eligible to play.

· Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson (Auburn) connected on field goals of 53, 50 and 47 yards and two extra points. Carlson has made 38 consecutive regular-season field-goal attempts.

· Raiders guard Lester Cotton (Central-Tuscaloosa, Alabama) played but did not record any stats.

· Raiders defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. (Murphy) made one tackle.

· Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross (Central-Phenix City) is on injured reserve and not eligible to play.

· Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham (Auburn) dressed for the game but did not play.

· Chiefs offensive tackle Prince Tega Wanogho (Edgewood Academy, Auburn) played but did not record any stats.

Kansas City improved to 4-1. Las Vegas dropped to 1-4, with its four losses coming by a total of 14 points.

The Chiefs host the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 16. The Raiders have an open date in Week 6 and return to the field when the Houston Texans visit on Oct. 23.
