The Raiders almost had an awesome Sunday. They were on the verge of improving their AFC West standing without lifting a finger, with Kansas City and Denver nearly flatlined in Sunday morning’s NFL action.
Both teams did what the 2016 Raiders have done so many times, and used one last breath to mount an epic comeback. The Chiefs erased a 17-point, fourth-quarter deficit and beat Carolina on a field goal as time expired. The Broncos blocked New Orleans’ go-ahead extra point with 88 seconds left and returned it for a defensive two-point conversion to beat the Saints.
Dramatic moments kept the AFC West tightly packed heading down the home stretch.
