KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Andy Reid preached all week for the Kansas City Chiefs to rediscover their identity. Find the swagger that had gone missing during a three-game losing streak that put their playoff hopes in peril.They found it during a five-minute stretch of the second half Sunday.Their offence finally humming and their defence taking advantage of turnovers, the Chiefs scored three touchdowns in quick succession, propelling them to a 31-13 victory over the Oakland Raiders.It was kind of the focus all week of us kind of cutting it loose, going out there and playing for each other, said Alex Smith, who threw for 297 yards and two scores. (Reid) always talks about that, letting emotions show, and I thought guys did a good job of that.It took a while, though.The Chiefs (8-6) were clinging to a 10-6 lead early in the third quarter against the same team that started their skid last month. But after Knile Davis scored a touchdown to cap a 70-yard drive, the Chiefs recovered a fumble, scored again, and then added one more touchdown to put away the game.Going into halftime, there were so many things we were so close on, Reid said. The guys settled down, they played — they let their personalities show.Just about the only downside for Kansas City was the big shot that Jamaal Charles took on a carry near the goal line. He went through concussion testing on the sideline and was cleared to return later in the game, but was eventually pulled with the outcome decided.It was a big hit but nothing else, Charles said. Im fine.Derek Carr was 27 of 56 for 222 yards, throwing a TD pass in the final minute. But he also was sacked four times and fumbled a snap that led to a Kansas city touchdown.The Chiefs, who had been poor against the run the past three weeks, even managed to bottle up Raiders running back Latavius Murray. The second-year pro had 112 yards and two scores on just four carries in their first meeting, but was held to 59 yards on 12 carries Sunday.Their athletes made more plays than we did, the Raiders Justin Tuck said. Pretty much it.The Raiders (2-12) have lost 10 straight on the road, and still have not won back-to-back games since Weeks 7 and 8 of the 2012 season. That includes a pair of duds in the appropriately named Show-Me State — they were routed 52-0 at St. Louis two weeks ago.You cant just blame one area, Carr said. This is a team thing.Both teams got off to slow starts in a penalty-filled matchup, but Kansas City finally got a jolt of energy when DeAnthony Thomas fielded a punt at his 19-yard line. Picking up a nice block from Kelcie McCray, the rookie somersaulted over the goal line for an 81-yard touchdown return.Its to the point where Im starting to get a feel of it, Thomas said.Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos atoned for missing his first field-goal attempt since Week 2 early in the second quarter by knocking through a 41-yarder. The Raiders Sebastian Janikowski matched him with a 53-yarder as time expired to close within 10-3 at the break.Oakland had a chance to make the game interesting in the third quarter when Travis Kelce fumbled and C.J. Wilson recovered. But in a fitting summation of the Raiders season, Wilson ended up hurt on the play, and the Raiders went nowhere before Janikowski kicked another field goal.The Chiefs took advantage of the opening — and a roughing-the-passer penalty on Justin Tuck — to go 70 yards on their next possession. Davis finished it off with a short touchdown run.Carr fumbled the snap on the next play, Kansas City recovered and Smith hit Kelce from 20 yards for a touchdown. The Chiefs then forced a three-and-out, and Smiths 70-yard throw to Davis a moment later capped their three-TD spurt and gave Kansas City a 31-6 advantage.The whole second half it started falling apart, said the Raiders Charles Woodson, and we were never able to recover and it got out of hand.NOTES: Chiefs LB Josh Mauga had an oblique strain and CB Sean Smith cramps. Both of them finished the game. ... Kansas City improved to 6-1 when leading at halftime. ... Carr now has 313 completions, becoming the sixth rookie QB to surpass 300 in a season. ... The teams combined to convert 8 of 31 third downs. They also had 21 penalties.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFLCheap Basketball College Jerseys .That sight softened the blow of what ended up as a 4-3 shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night.Knowing their teammate was fine after a scary headfirst fall in the opening minute of the game helped calm the Maple Leafs.
