Three and Out: Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs

Tyreek Hill was playing for the fans chanting his name.

Still, the Chiefs rallied around their fallen leader.

This could be a huge blow for the Kansas City Chiefs’ ambitions in the playoffs.

Following the Kansas City Chiefs’ 21-13 Thursday night win over the Oakland Raiders, the Patriots are in a commanding position to earn homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. “It means a lot of things down the road”.

The defense needs to regain the enthusiasm it held in building a 21-3 lead. “It probably won’t hit until afterward and we are unwinding”.

The Broncos visit Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas night. In fact, three of his worst games in terms of completion percentage have come against the Chiefs, who are now tied with Oakland at 10-3 and atop the AFC West.

“He was out there with me tonight”, West said. He scored another touchdown with 8:35 to go until half-time. Playoffs was about the most a reasonable fan would have expected from this team.

“It was insane, man”. Five of their seven first-half drivers were three and outs, and while apair of second-half turnovers twice gave them the ball on the Chiefs’ 18-yard line, they came away with just three points total from those two drives. He had an Achilles tendon injury which could endanger his career.

“It was one of those next-man-up things”, Nelson said.

“We had no doubt in our mind we were going to get back in the game”.

Early on in the year I thought the correct comparison for Hill was early 2000s Dante Hall – a breakout special teams weapon who had the potential to make a few plays every week as a receiver. “What we do and what they do the next three weeks will determine whether it’s at their place or ours, because they’re a half game up on us”, Del Rio said. In the receiving end, Dontrelle Inman posted 71 yards and a touchdown in six receptions while Tyrell Williams added 68 yards in two receptions while Antonio Gates added 61 yards in five receptions. He is only the third tight end in the National Football League since 1999 to accomplish that feat, joining Jimmy Graham and former Chief Tony Gonzalez. It went poorly for him, and as Carr goes, so go the Raiders. They can run the football okay, but everything is really predicated on them pushing the football down the field, getting big plays.

Thursday, Mack had his third straight game with a fumble-inducing sack. They intercepted him one more time and turned this one into a pick-six that sealed their 34-20 victory.

Raiders receivers Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper failed to leave an impact on the field and it showed in the box score.

Can we just all agree right off the bat that Thursday Night Football is a bad idea and should be scrapped?

Tackle Donald Penn wasn’t thrilled following this missed opportunity, and articulated how the entire team felt. I’ve played in the cold. “Weather had nothing to do with it”.
