World News – US – Live coverage: Raiders knock out Chiefs in Kansas City with 40-32 win

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs throws the ball against the Kansas City Chiefs in the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct 11, 2020 in Kansas City

From quarterback Derek Carr to coach Jon Gruden, the Raiders were unanimous heading into Week 5 of the NFL season that they were tired of losing

The Raiders had arguably the biggest win of Gruden’s tenure, and certainly franchise time in Las Vegas, with a 40-32 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium

Coming into the game as a double-digit loser, Las Vegas rarely looked like an outclassed team that had been beaten seven in a row at this venue. The Raiders racked up 491 yards and 22 first downs, retaining edges in both classes and even big edges for much of the second half until a late push from the Chiefs cast doubt on the outcome.

After Josh Jacobs scored his second straight touchdown to give the Raiders a seemingly insurmountable 40-24 lead with 5:26 left, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes did his usual MVP-like things Mahomes led the Chiefs on the field in 1:29, throwing both a touchdown and a two-point conversion pass to reduce the game to one possession

Las Vegas would need a pair of opening laps to secure victory once the ball is recovered It wasn’t easy, but the Raiders succeeded behind Jacobs legs and Carr’s leadership

Carr was spectacular after an early interception, effectively leading Mahomes with 347 passing yards on 22 attempts on 31 and three touchdowns Jacobs had 23 carries for 77 yards

The win was Carr’s first in Kansas City and the franchise’s first since 2012 It brings the Raiders 500 down to 3-2 and sends them in a week bye bye to the ultimate top

Patrick Mahomes showed why he is widely regarded as the best player in the NFL by leading the Chiefs onto the field to take them to a score just after the Raiders took the lead A 7-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce, then a two-point conversion pass to Darrel Williams, this return in a possession game

There’s plenty of time so the Raiders will need to pick up a few first downs, if not add a few points, to feel safe Mahomes now has 340 passing yards, completing 22 of 43 attempts, while Raiders’ Derek Carr is at 345 similar yards on 21 passes for 30

Champions Go Down At least, that’s how we look at Arrowhead where the Raiders took control against the Chiefs

Las Vegas scored twice in the last two minutes of playing time, first concluding a 10-game practice with a 45-yard basket from Daniel Carlson to take a two-possession lead. Then, an interception from Jeff Heath on a fourth pass attempt from Patrick Mahomes set up a probable touchdown

Heath returned his 48-yard pick on the Chiefs 2-yard line and Josh Jacobs hit him from there It’s never wise to doubt the former regular season and Super MVP Bowl, Patrick Mahomes, but he has his work cut out for him here

Raiders lead for the third time today after Josh Jacobs finished a long haul with a 7-yard touchdown in the second play of the fourth quarter

Bad news for Raiders fans? Daniel Carlson missed the extra point This is the only downside to a 13-game, 71-yard final practice that lasted eight minutes

Las Vegas was up to the task of slowing down Kansas City’s attack on their last two possessions After the extra point missed you may have to do it again to maintain a lead

A scoreless third quarter between the Raiders and the Chiefs was not what you expected after a crazy first half

And yet the AFC West rivals mostly neutralized each other in the final 15 minutes of play.The two teams went three times on each of their first two possessions in the third quarter, but the Raiders have made something of their last

They will start the fourth quarter in the Chiefs’ red zone at the 13-yard line after Derek Carr converts a 4th and inches with a quarterback

Las Vegas is well positioned to win Kansas City for the first time in eight years, but can they pull it off?

Raiders at Chiefs was a back and forth in the first half It almost seems inappropriate for the half to end with the Raiders’ defense forcing the Chiefs to settle for a 32-yard field goal. Harrison butker

Staggering numbers dot the stats sheet Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is 19 averaging 8 yards per attempted pass after two long touchdown passes, one to Henry Ruggs III and the other to Nelson Agholor

He has 246 passing yards for Chiefs Patrick Mahomes 237 passing yards, though the latter also has 20 rushing yards.

Derek Carr rocked an early interception and is now set to have a career day

His last big hit came on a 72-yard touchdown against Henry Ruggs III, the first scoring of rookie Carr’s first-round pick currently sits 9 for 11 for 235 yards and three touchdowns

It looks like it won’t be just another day the Chiefs blast the Raiders in Arrowhead

Raiders cut to 21-17 with 6:24 left in second quarter

Okay, not quite, but the Raiders’ trip to Kansas City turned into a shootout Teams now officially trade touchdowns after Las Vegas delivered 75 yards in five games and 2:45 of time game to return to a Kansas City figure

Devontae Booker hit 43 yards in the first play of practice to get the Raiders into goal crease and they eventually converted a trip to the red zone with a 5-yard pass from Derek Carr to Darren Waller

Carr now has 163 passing yards and two touchdowns to 158 passing yards from Patrick Mahomes with two total TDs (one on the ground, one on the pass)

The Chiefs drove straight onto the field in response to the Raiders’ first touchdown, securing a first baseline situation in under two minutes

The Raiders’ defense weighed in from there, but ultimately it didn’t matter It ultimately didn’t matter as Patrick Mahomes put on the kind of climax he seems capable of

Mahomes snuck out of the pressure, sprinted to the touchline and hit Sammy Watkins who was coming through the middle part of the end zone

Mahomes is torturing the Raiders, as he has done so often over the past two years

As he has been doing all season, Nelson Agholor made a big play when the Raiders needed it

Las Vegas responded to Kansas City’s two touchdowns with one of their own when Agholor landed a 59-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr Agholor drove a deep road just between two safeties and edged them ahead to score, scurrying off a tackle at the 2-yard line to land in the end zone

The drive lasted 5 games, 75 yards and Las Vegas is alive despite the Kansas City rally

As he has been doing all season, Nelson Agholor made a big play when the Raiders needed it

Las Vegas responded to Kansas City’s two touchdowns with one of their own when Agholor landed a 59-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr Agholor drove a deep road just between two safeties and edged them ahead to score, scurrying off a tackle at the 2-yard line to land in the end zone

The drive lasted 5 games, 75 yards and Las Vegas is alive despite the previous Kansas City rally

Just like that, the Chiefs did what the Chiefs do by scoring quickly and creating a split on the scoreboard

Tyreek Hill remained intact on a 10-yard backhand for a touchdown, four games after Derek Carr threw his first interception of the season Bashaud Breeland picked Carr at the Raiders’ 43-yard line and brought him back at 28

This made the score too easy for the Chiefs, who could start to pull away if the Raiders can’t do something on their next haul.

The Chiefs responded as soon as they recovered the ball, hurtling down the field with a 9-game, 88-yard practice, topped by Patrick Mahomes in a 3-yard touchdown Mahomes also connected to the tight end Travis Kelce twice on the ride, and a long stint at Tyreek Hill

Raiders don’t hang around in their first game of the year against rival Chiefs

Las Vegas was first on the scoreboard with a 38-yard basket from Daniel Carlson who capped an 11-play, 45-yard practice Kansas City threw its first possession

The key scoring campaign play for the Raiders was a 46-yard third try from Derek Carr to Henry Ruggs Sanctions helped stall the player from there, however

The Raiders must be thrilled to lead the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs undefeated, but they’ll need more than field goals on the next few runs to feel right at home

These are the main takeaways from the Raiders’ injury report recently released during this morning’s game against the Chiefs There was growing optimism the three could return, despite limited practice during the week, but the Raiders avoid the worst-case scenario by missing only Collins

This will result in a significant change on the defensive line where edge defender Clelin Ferrell is expected to take Collins’ usual spot in the middle Ferrell was better against the race anyway and Collins had underperformed, so there’s a chance the change will go through without a major issue

Ruggs set to return to starting lineup at receiver alongside Hunter Renfrow and fellow rookie Bryan Edwards Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones will bring depth

Brown could be the one to watch closest The right tackle has tried to come back from an injured calf once and made it a streak against the Panthers

The hope is that he’s recovered enough to pull off a full game and give a boost to a rushed Raiders offense that has waned in recent weeks

Las Vegas features what many Raider fans would consider to be the team’s most heated rivalry streak, with the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 5 Unfortunately now is not the perfect time to get acquainted with the game from the point of view of the new home team

The chefs are super busy; they are the defending Super Bowl champions and have shown no sign of the dreaded hangover this season Kansas City became the first team in NFL history to start 4-0 for four consecutive seasons with a win on the New England Patriots Monday

They’ve also beaten the Raiders five in a row, including all four since reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes took over as quarterback since the 2017 season. Adding to the misery, the Raiders haven’t beaten the Chiefs at Arrowhead since 2012

Las Vegas (2-2) took a little hiatus when last week’s Kansas City game was postponed a day after New England quarterback Cam Newton tested positive for coronavirus Data has consistently shown that NFL teams are less effective when faced with one day less preparation for a game. This makes sense, as training and recovery times are reduced when teams have to consolidate their seven-day routines into six days. It might not seem like much of an advantage, but teams need to do all they can against the Chiefs, who present mismatches all over the pitch regardless of the opponent. The truth is, the Raiders have no obvious advantage over powerful bosses from a staff perspective, but now they do from a situational perspective. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is 18-13 in his career playing Sunday games after a Monday night game, but he’s won four in a row

No one has emphasized the Raiders’ annual limitations on pass defense like Mahomes Diehard fans are surely sick of seeing the stat line now, but here it is: Mahomes threw for 1,194 yards passing and 11 touchdowns for an interception in four games against the Raiders Worse, he’s also averaging over 5 yards per carry, including a touchdown in 15 rushing attempts. And the Raiders’ defense looks ripe for the taking again They rank 27th in the NFL giving up 62 yards per play, and 26th giving up 75 yards per passing attempt The secondary is also struggling as Las Vegas lost the running back. starting wedge Damon Arnette with a broken thumb before Week 4 and his replacement Nevin Lawson is among three cornerbacks – along with Lamarcus Joyner and Keisean Nixon – who were restricted in practice ahead of the Chiefs Game

• « If you look at the turnover rate in the four games since I came back as coach against Kansas City, it’s almost embarrassing I’m sorry I brought it up Hope I didn’t make you sick » – Jon Gruden on the minus-10 margin of team turnover over the past two years against the Chiefs

• « When you play against each other, Chiefs-Raiders, it’s not friendly But we have to make it into a rivalry, if we’re honest We have to go and win soccer games against them » – Derek Carr

• « Everyone in the stadium wants you to mess up and fail I love walking into this environment It makes me hyped It makes me want to play harder It makes you want to prove all these people wrong ”- Raiders offensive lineman Denzelle Good who plays in front of fans for the first time this season

• « We have to take away what they do best and make them play with the left hand » – Johnathan Abram

Devising a plan to slow down the Chiefs isn’t an easy task, but the Raiders’ third-year defensive coordinator must feel the pressure to do so this week His job may depend on it Guenther was in the press box, instead of his normal place on the sideline, for last Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills Head coach Jon Gruden oddly described him as a ‘Loaded question’ when asked about the move and later had to give Guenther a vote of confidence Raiders play down the situation, but these are usually signs of insecure job security NFL coaches are often sacked during the weeks off, and the Raiders are scheduled for their week off after the Chiefs game Gruden and Guenther both spoke of high expectations for this year’s defense as the season approaches, and if it continues not to live up to them, someone will take the fall It’s hard to imagine it’s anyone other than Guenther

Back-to-back passes Derek Carr threw without interception can be traced back to last season’s Week 13 game in Kansas City.It’s the longest streak in the NFL today, but not the longest streak in Carr’s career The seventh-year quarterback made 332 passes without interception in 2018, another run that was interrupted in Kansas City.The 332-pass streak is the third longest in NFL history, behind 409 consecutive passes from ‘Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady’s 358 The Fumbles have been Carr’s biggest problem as he’s already signed three this season, including one the Raiders lost last week, to bring his career tally to 31

Jacobs went three weeks without finding the end zone, pulling his tie touchdown prop, a clear buying point – especially in this game The Chiefs are second to last to give up 53 yards per run attempt They also struggle to defend running backs in the passing game, ranking 28th according to Football Outsiders DVOA Jacobs will not only have a chance to go wild on explosive play, but he’ll also be the Raiders’ preferred option near the goal line in a game where they’ll want to keep the clock running and not risk any incompleteness that gives Mahomes extra time to work with
