OAKLAND, Calif. -- Few outside the walls of Silver and Blackdom expected the rebuilding Oakland Raiders to actually, you know, beat the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. But after Monday night's exhilarating victory over the Denver Broncos and a good week of practice, throwing a scare at reigning league MVP Patrick Mahomes & Co. seemed doable. Such was the case ... for 15 minutes.
Because after taking a 10-0 lead, the wheels fell off, and Mahomes, well, he took off in the second quarter, slicing and dicing an already suspect Raiders secondary en route to a 28-10 Chiefs victory.
