Derrick Johnson ruptured Achilles in Chiefs vs. Raiders

Osemele’s absence added to an already notable list of inactives, which included standout rookie Karl Joseph. However, there were also bad throws and seemingly not a lot of fresh legs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Tyreek Hill didn’t know what to do when he started hearing thousands of people in Arrowhead Stadium chanting his name, even as he stood all alone on the frozen turf waiting for the punt.

With the second chance, Oakland almost blew the extra opportunity to put points on the board, as Amari Cooper appeared to fumble after catching a quick slant. After review it’s determined he did not have possession of the ball. Kansas City forced Oakland to settle for another field goal, but Marquette King mishandled the snap and was tackled short of the first-down marker.

The game also features two contrasting quarterbacks; the former first overall pick in the draft (2005), Alex Smith, and the exciting three-year quarterback Derek Carr, who’s considered an MVP candidate. David Amerson was beat on the play.

The Chiefs and Raiders have met 115 times over the years. Oakland had 3rd-and-1, but Carr’s pass into the end zone fell incomplete.

Hill returned that Oakland Raiders punt 78 yards for a touchdown, his second long score in the Chiefs’ 21-13 victory.

The Chiefs are now a half game back of the New England Patriots, who host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football.

Being down 18 points lit a fire under the Oakland offense, which moved 92 yards on 14 plays before Murray scored on a 1-yard run. This cut the deficit going into halftime to 21-10.

The rivalry lived on not only by some notable games between the teams, but through the stories of Bell and others involved. James Cowser recovered, and Oakland parlayed the turnover into a 44-yard Sebastian Janikowski field goal. “I just prepare for them just like I do any other game”.

Analysis: Both teams have major holes.

The team with six fourth-quarter comebacks couldn’t secure a second.

The Raiders entered this season with the league’s fifth ranked offense, fourth in passing, seventh in rushing and 3rd in scoring. Expect those numbers to continue as the Chiefs prove on a BIG stage on a Frosty night in Kansas City they are the top team in the NFL’s best division. They were down 21-10 after two quarters, a stretch only salvaged with a last-second touchdown from Latavius Murray before the half. Spencer Ware gained 15 yards on seven carries.

To do it again the Chiefs will have to deal with the COLD weather that is expected in the area.

Oakland quarterback Derek Carr had the worst statistical performance of what’s been a very good season, completing just 41.5 percent of his throws (17 of 41) for only 2.9 yards per passing attempt.

There was a particularly baffling series of play calls late in the 4th quarter. Carr his wide receiver Seth Roberts on a crossing route on fourth down to convert.
