Coming off their first loss of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs traveled to Oakland to play the Raiders on Thursday night. The Raiders season has not gone as they had hoped and looking to right the ship. Would the Chiefs rebound from their first loss of the season or would the Raiders snap a three game losing streak? We'll find out soon enough. The Chiefs would start with the ball and face a third and 1 early and Kareem Hunt goes for two yards. Alex Smith would go to Robinson for 16 yards on second and 11 and then Smith went to Robinson for 16 on the next play. The Chiefs would have to settle for a 53 yard field goal by Harrison Butker to give the Chiefs an early 3-0 lead. On the Raiders first play, Derek Carr would go to Amari Cooper for 12, then on second and 9, Carr would go to Jared Cook for 24 then on the next play, Carr would find Amari Cooper for a 38 yard touchdown. The PAT would make it 7-3 Raiders. On second and 4 of the Chiefs next possession, Hunt would go for 34 yards on the run. The Chiefs would face a third and 10 and the pass would be a few yards short but the Raiders would be called for roughing the passer to keep the drive alive. Smith would find Hunt for 13 on the next play then Smith would find Travis Kelce for a 10 yard touchdown. The Chiefs would take the lead at 10-7 after the PAT. The Raiders would face a third and 4 and Carr would find Cordarelle Patterson for nine. They faced a third and 3 and Carr would find Michael Crabtree for five yards then on the next play, Carr would find Cooper on their second score of the game. This time from 45 yards out. The Raiders would take a 14-10 lead. The Chiefs would go three and out as the first quarter came to an end. The Raiders would face a third and 7 and looked like a fumble recovered by the Chiefs but an illegal contact would negate the play and give the Raiders a first down. On a third and 12, Carr would go to Crabtree for 17 then Carr would find Cooper for 14 on the next play. They would fail to advance the ball any further after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and would be forced to punt and would down it at the Chiefs one yard line. On the first play, Smith would find Robinson for 33 then on a second and 8, Smith would go to Tyreek Hill for a 64 yard touchdown. The PAT would make it 17-14 Chiefs. On the next Raiders possession, Carr would find Richard for 14 on third and 7 then Carr would find Roberts for 15. The Raiders faced a third and 10 and the Chiefs would get the stop but the Chiefs were called for unsportsmanlike conduct but the Raiders would lose Marshawn Lynch due to an altercation with the refs and would be ejected. They would get a first and 25 and the Raiders would fail to get a first and would attempt a 53 yard field goal and the kick would be blocked. The next Chiefs possession would result in a 39 yard field goal by Butker to make it 20-14. The Raiders would drive down the field before halftime but the field goal was missed and the Chiefs would lead 20-14 at halftime. The Raiders would start with the ball and drive down the drive, resulting in DeAndre Washington scoring from four yards out. The PAT would give the Raiders a 21-20 lead. They would face a third and 3 and Smith would find Robinson for seven and then a third and 12 and Smith would find Wilson that was deflected and went in his hands and would score from 63 yards out. The PAT would make it 27-21 Kansas City. The next Raiders possession would end in a punt. The Chiefs would add to their lead with a 37 yard field goal by Butker to make it 30-21. The third quarter would come to a close as the Chiefs took a 30-21 lead to the fourth quarter. The Raiders would cut the lead on a field goal to make it 30-24. The Raiders would get a stop and the Chiefs would punt the ball back to the Raiders. The Raiders would get one last chance. The Raiders would take over and Carr would go to Cooper for a first down as we headed to the two-minute warning. After an offensive pass interference, Carr would go to Cooper again for a first down. They would face a fourth and 11 and Carr would find Cook for the first down. Carr would go to Cook who would make an incredible catch and be down at the one yard line. It looked like the Raiders scored a touchdown but they were called for pass interference and it would come down to one final play. The pass would fall incomplete but the Chiefs were called for holding and thus would cause an untimed play and Carr's pass would fall incomplete as Patterson would go out of bounds but the Chiefs would get called for holding to give them another untimed play. Carr would go to Crabtree for the touchdown and they would go for the PAT and kick would be good and the Raiders overcome a nine point fourth quarter deficit to knock off the Chiefs 31-30.
Thoughts on the game: Wow what a game!! The Raiders overcoming a nine point deficit was the most impressive win I've seen in a while. Raiders QB Derek Carr threw for 417 yards and three touchdowns. He had a very impressive final drive as he led them down the field for the game-winning score. The Raiders got several chances helped by two holding penalties at the end but they capitalized on the final play.
