It was the much-anticipated rematch between the Raiders and Chiefs. The ketchup and mustard gang was fuming after the Silver and Black went into their house and put up 40 points on them in a win. They were trying hard to make a big deal about the Raiders’ bus doing a victory lap around the stadium after, but really it was being handed their only loss the the season that burnt their biscuits.
As frothing mad as the Chiefs players seemed to be, they still found themselves coming from behind most of the game. They didn’t lead in the first half. The Raiders scored touchdowns on their first two drives and though the Chiefs answered with touchdown drives of their own, they headed into the half with a 17-14 deficit.
A long drive to begin the third quarter gave the Chiefs their first lead at 21-17. The Raiders then did the answering to retake the lead at 24-21. And back and forth it went until the Chiefs scored with 30 seconds remaining to take a 35-31 lead. In his desperation, Carr tried throwing a deep ball to Nelson Agholor and the safety easily came over to pick it off and end the game.
It was a hell of a game though between what has shaped up to be two of the league’s elite offenses.
