In last season's second matchup against division-rival Kansas City, the Las Vegas Raiders beat the eventual Super Bowl champions. For success in 2024, the Silver and Black can look at what they did against Patrick Mahomes and Co. on Christmas Day.
The Las Vegas Raiders' win in Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day last season was nothing short of an old-school beatdown. The Raiders would beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, 20-14.Our Hondo Carpenter Sr. and Aidan Champion were at the contest. They described the disposition of the Chiefs as frustrated, All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce left helpless, the home crowd booing their own team.
Steady gains of 5 and 6 yards from running back Zamir White to open things up. Then, short precise passing from Aidan O'Connell to Jakobi Meyers. A 13-yard connection just outside the numbers. A beautifully set screen, on a fake reverse, for a Meyers first down of 21 yards. The Raiders will have two explosive, playmaking tight ends in Michael Mayer and rookie Brock Bowers to go with the devastating trio of Meyers, Davante Adams and Tucker. Coach Antonio Pierce has made the vertical game, already an uncomfortable reality for opponents, even more threatening.White controlled the Chiefs during that game -- 22 attempts for 145 yards. 6.6 yards per carry.
The defensive backfield needed upgrades this offseason, and the Raiders got big, fast and physical with their selection of cornerback Decamerion Richardson in the draft.
