NFL: Oakland Raiders 24 KC Chiefs 20 recap

The Raiders hosted the Chiefs try to win their 1st game since more than 1 year and the Chiefs to get the lead of their division. Chiefs not good to stop the tun tonight
Oakland defense started fast and well disciplinated forcing KC to a opening 3 and out but Raiders offense hasn't done the same in the 1st drive but they learnt from their mistakes and at the 2nd chance they went right to the end zone scoring a TD with Latavius Murray who has been the 1 player to score a rushing TD against Chiefs defense this season, Derek Carr played safe all drive long targeting WRs especially outside with curl routes for short yardage but with great success.
KC struggled inb the 1st quarter to estabilish the runnin game because Oakland's defense every single down put at least 7 players to the line of screemage to cover every holes to stop Charles and this shown that Chiefs' passing game depends too much by their running game because it's based on read-options, play actions and screens but not to obviusly pass situations where they must produce something out of the shootgun. Raiders' defense also very attent in coverage never let Charles be alone out of the backfield to receive any passes.
Oakland shocked everyone scoring a 90 yards rushing TD by L.Murray on a beautiful designed counter run and even better executed by entire o-line who created the space to let Murray cut back in the backfield and find the hole to go all the way to the endzone.
With the Chiefs not able to be dangerous on offense the Raiders committed an huge error with the PR Moore missing to receive a punt a let the Chiefs start inside Raiders 15 yards but fortunately for them KC has been able just to cameout with a FG made by Santos under an heavy rain.
The 1st half ended with a great Raiders defense who has been dominant and done a great job to not just stop Chiefs defense but make them lose yards so many times.
Latavius Murray will not return in the 2nd half due to a concussion after being hit right to the head at the end of the 1st half. DB Charles Woodson looked like the 1 we saw in Green Bay for so many years, playing not only in coverage as we are used to see him in recent years but also blitzing and playing close to the line of screemage showing great tackles and knowledge anticipating Chiefs' intentions. Oakland put other 3 point with a Janikowsky FG after a decent offensive drive lead by McFadden's runs. The Chiefs reacted the domination of the Raiders defense with a drive characteryzed by lot of passes who has been finished by with a receiving TD by TE Anthony Fasano.
Under by just 7 points the Chiefs put up their best drive of the night with Alex Smith able to complete 8 straight passes and lead his team to a game tying TD with a receiving TD by Charles who cameout of the backfield right inside the number and made miss 3-4 tackles with his awesome agility and elusivness to reach the endzone.
KC got their 1st lead of the night 20-17 after another Santos FG. Oakland tired to react, during that drive they converted a 4th down with a QB sneak then marched down the field especially riding FB Marcell Reece on the running game and with 1:42 left in the game Carr's TD pass to James Jones who got free thanks to a very good double move. KC had a last chance to win the game and they started to their 40 yard line thanks to a great return by DeAnthony Thomas but without timeouts Smith hasn't been able to overcome the midfield line.
The Raiders finally got their 1st win in over an year thanks to a great performance by their defense lead by an awesome Khalil Mack the rookie who has been able to be effective in all the aspects of the game, coach Sparano used him all around the line of screemage to stop the runs, cover the passes and rush the passes. David Carr got his 1st NFL win thanks to the good accurancy he shown all game long, throwing so hard and able to target lot of receivers. The Chiefs shown all their limits especially on offense, even the defensive played bad showing weakness to stop the runs and not being able to cover the short routes. Alex Smith targeted his WRs so few times even if he had a good size matchup outside against shorter Raiders CBs. Raiers players and fans cheered their win like a Super Bowl one and after 5 straight good performances they've been able to finish strong and got a win. The MVPs of this games are Latavius Murray and Khalil Mack.
