Another week and another blowout for the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders ended up with an embarrassing loss at Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs 40-9, adding to their awful point differential of -87.
The Raiders actually moved the ball pretty decent against the Chiefs with a strong running game out-gaining the Kansas City Chiefs 332-259 on the day but had 3 turnovers and allowed a defensive touchdown.
The penalties were too much to overcome with 12 for 99 yards with multiple penalties hurting the offense or continuing drives for the Chiefs. Just an all-around ugly day for the passing game with the receivers being lockdown throughout the game.
The defense actually didn’t have a bad showing. Holding a dynamic Chiefs offense to 4.3 yards per play is excellent for the outlook going forward, especially after a terrible game last week against the New York Jets.
The Raiders were able to generate pressure on Patrick Mahomes, causing the quarterback to airmail throws and pass off his back foot into traffic. The young Raiders’ defense continues to grow and looks ready to finish the season.
Who were the Winners and Losers for the Raiders against the Chiefs? Time to take a look and figure out who played well and who didn’t after an embarrassing Sunday.
