Chiefs...12 Raiders...10

OAKLAND -- The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t need much production from Priest Holmes to extend their winning streak over the Oakland Raiders.

Larry Johnson scored the go-ahead touchdown on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter and the Chiefs beat the Raiders for the ninth straight time, winning, 12-10, in Holmes’ return from a two-year absence.

Holmes, Kansas City’s career leader in yards rushing and touchdowns, was activated this week for the first time since suffering a neck injury Oct. 30, 2005.

Holmes entered the game on the third play of Kansas City’s third drive. He caught one screen pass, for a six-yard loss, and rushed four times for nine yards.

Oakland (2-4) had a chance after taking over at its 26 with 1:46 to play. Daunte Culpepper completed three straight passes to move the ball to the Raiders’ 44 before Jarrad Page intercepted a slant pass to Ronald Curry with 35 seconds left, sealing the fourth win in five games for the Chiefs (4-3).

Quoteworthy: “I don’t think our record is what we expected it to be, but we’re in first place, and that’s what matters.” -- Jarrad Page, Chiefs safety
