After the first quarter, it appeared the Raiders had a chance to upset the Kansas City Chiefs at home. Oakland was leading 10-0 and had all the momentum. Then, the MVP showed up. In the second quarter alone, Mahomes threw for 278 yards and four touchdowns and essentially ended any hopes of the Raiders going to 2-0.
For Oakland, they didn’t play a terrible game, but they just faced a much better performance. However, penalties continue to be a problem for this Raiders’ team.
Time and time again, the Raiders had costly penalties that gave the Chiefs’ first downs or prevented Oakland from moving the chains. That is something that will need to be cleaned up before the team’s Week 3 contest against the Vikings.
