The Chiefs offense scored 19 first-half points against the Oakland Raiders in Oakland Alameda Coliseum on Sunday. However — and it’s likely a sign of their offensive brilliance this season — the offense and quarterback Patrick Mahomes seemed somewhat out of sync early on.
Mahomes finished the half 13-of-18 for 160 yards passing and two touchdowns. Mahomes has held the ball more often than during in other games this season. He’s also thrown a lot on the run: through designed roll-outs and because he scrambled to buy time.
Mahomes only targeted wide receiver Tyreek Hill once in the first half.
