Many were dreading the Raiders match-up against the Kansas City Chiefs. Much was made about the point spread for the Sunday afternoon game and Oakland was a huge underdog going into the contest.
With all the accolades being given to the Chiefs offense, the Kansas City defense on the other hand is on track to give up a record amount of yards this season. The Raiders only chance for an upset in this game was to exploit the Chiefs brand of bend and break defense. Gruden and Carr had a great offensive plan dialed up— but 3 fumbles lost by each running back ended up being the deciding factor in this game.
