The Las Vegas Raiders gave a tremendous effort in their 27-20 loss to the formidable Kansas City Chiefs, but their offensive struggles continued to hold them back.
The Las Vegas Raiders found themselves with multiple opportunities to pull off a second straight upset against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the offensive woes once again held the team back.
The Raiders would respond with a scoring drive of their own, however, as quarterback Gardner Minshew II went 5-for-5 in the air, finding running back Alexander Mattison, wide receiver Tre Tucker, tight end Brock Bowers, and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who found the end zone on a 7-yard reception, announcing his return after what had been a two-game absence.
That scoring drive fueled Kansas City's defense, which went on to force a quick three-and-out, allowing its offense to have nearly a minute to add to its lead before the break. Las Vegas got all the way down to Kansas City's 4-yard line, thanks in large part to an 11-yard reception by Meyers along the sideline.
Yet another penalty would cost the Chiefs on the Raiders' punt as an illegal block put Mahomes and co. within the 10-yard line again.
