Related: About this forumRaiders-Chiefs recap, final score: Derek Carr has career worst game, Raiders fall 21-13 in KC
This game started out with an uncharacteristic turnover from the turnover ratio leading Chiefs. The Raiders went three-and-out and punted, but return man Tyreek Hill muffed it and the Raiders recovered at the Kansas City 38-yard-line. They were unable to get a touchdown out of it and added a field goal to lead 3-0 in the early going.
Thats where it would stay for the rest of the first quarter. The Raiders offense was going nowhere, with off target passes by Derek Carr and several drops by his receivers.
With the start of the second quarter, the Chiefs got things going, picking chunks of yards on a completion to Jeremy Maclin and Travis Kelce and then Tyreek Hill finishing it off by getting a step on David Amerson where Alex Smith found him for a 36-yard touchdown.
Another three-and-out by the Raiders would give way to another long drive by the Chiefs. That drive featured another big connection with Travis Kelce for 28 yards and Amerson getting burnt again, this time by Chris Conley for 31 yards. They would finish it off with a 3-yard touchdown run by Charcandrick West to take a 14-3 lead.
Yet another three-and-out for the Raiders led to another punt. This is when things went from bad to really bad. Tyreek Hill fielded the punt in the middle of the field and returned it 78 yards to the house to give the Chiefs a 21-3 lead.

Rest, regroup, and prepare for the Chargers

They would have been in position and had the mojo to come from behind win on their final drive despite their mediocre game.
Alex Smith was hot, and to think the fucking Forty-Niners let him go for that Kaepernick dude. Would have, could have, should have been.
