They would go for the laterals and would be recovered by the Chiefs and returned for a touchdown as the Chiefs stayed unbeaten with a 29-20 victory over the Washington Redskins.

Thoughts on the game: Both teams played well tonight. Alex Smith threw for 293 yards and a touchdown for the Chiefs. He also had a rushing touchdown. Kirk Cousins threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns for Washington. Kareem Hunt had a good game on the ground for the Chiefs. He rushed for 101 yards. The Chiefs could be interesting down the stretch as they are the only undefeated team in the NFL. They definitely look like the best team in the AFC West.
