In the battle for loudest NFL stadium, victory appears to belong to the Kansas City Chiefs -- for now.
The Chiefs' official Twitter account said Sunday that fans had broken the world record for loudest sports venue during Kansas City's 24-7 victory over the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium.
RECORD BROKEN! 137.5 DECIBELS! #LoudAndProud

The 137.5 decibels, if upheld, would top the 136.6 decibels set by the Seahawks on Sept. 16, when Seattle topped the San Francisco 49ers in a "Sunday Night Football" beat down.
But don't expect the Seahawks to take this loss lightly.
@kcchiefs Congratulations. All records are meant to be broken. Fortunately #12s have experience in this endeavor. @CenturyLink_Fld #LOUDER
