Chiefs take AFC playoff berth with win over Raiders
Chiefs quarterback Steve DeBerg sparked a 27 21 victory over the Los Angeles Raiders in Los Angeles. DeBerg threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns to J J Birden as Kansas City clinched a home playoff game next weekend behind a balanced attack that totaled 468 yards and 39 09 minutes of possession. Todd Marinovich, in his NFL debut for the Raiders, passed for 243 yards and three TDs, two to Tim Brown, but it wasn’t enough to halt Los Angeles’ three game skid.
