Week 7: @

The 4-1 Raiders head to KC to take on the hated 3-3 Chiefs. KC has the 32nd rated D in the league. This could be a big day for MJD and McGloin??? Speaking of McGloin, Raiders ownership officially reached out this weekend to try to get him int a new deal. McGloin is looking for a short-term deal while the Raiders want to go longer term... more on this at a later date...

Khalil Mack has the first big play of the game as he pics off Smith at centre-field. The first score comes shortly after as Janikowski hits a 44 yard FG and the raiders go up 3-0.

Early in the 2nd, Oakland goes for it on 4th and 1 from the goalline. McGloin calls an I slant and hits Moore for the TD strike. That makes it 10-0 Oakland.

Bad news... Terrick Lattimore has a ripped pectoral muscle and will miss the rest of the season. This is a huge injury for the rookie who was really starting to come into his own. Korey Sheets will resume pr/pr duties and WR Beasley will move up on the depth chart.

With under 5 minute remaining in the 2nd, Janikowski hits a 29 yard FG to increase Oakland's lead to 13-0. However KC moves the ball well on their next drive and Charles punches it in from the goalline with 1:37 remaining in the half. That makes the score 13-7 Raiders.

The Raiders dominated the first half but not on the scoreboard nor with the run game. McGloin has been awesome but MJD is dead in the water. Nonetheless on the Raiders first drive of the half, Reece punches it in from the 1 and the Raiders go up 19-7. Beasley dropped the 2 point conversion on a big hit from Berry.

The 4th quarter begins with a 42 yard KC FG to make the score 19-10 Oakland. However that is as far as KC would go as with 1:32 left they cannot convert on 4th and 12 from the Oakland 13. The Raiders get the ball back and move the sticks once and end the game. What a grudge match!

The two players of the game...

McGloin 28/38 241 yards and 1 TD
Chaney 9 catches 89 yards

Honourable mention goes to SS Tyvon Branch as he had 7 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss and one sack.

That improve the Raiders to 5-1 on the season.
