As Head Coach Jon Gruden stated following Sunday's game, the Oakland Raiders aren't too ashamed to admit they were outplayed yesterday.
For three quarters, the Silver and Black were able to keep Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs' electric offense at bay, but the second quarter was where things got out of hand. All 28 of the Chiefs' points came in the second quarter, but not because of a lack of effort from the Raiders. Yes, there were a few miscommunications that resulted in big gains, but some of Mahomes completions were just well-placed throws.
The outcome wasn't what the Raiders were hoping for, but they still played well against the run, and had several highlight-reel plays; let's take a look.
Derek Carrier showed off the hands on this 25-yard pass.
Tyrell Williams goes up for a contested catch for the 19-yard reception.
