Raiders vs Chiefs Week 8 | 2024 Season

The Raiders vs Chiefs AFC West showdown almost ended in victory for the Silver and Black, which would have broken the Kansas City Chiefs winning streak of 12 games, but it was the Chiefs defense that played a crucial part in the 27-20 loss for the home team.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the fastest QB in NFL history to record 30,000 yards as he threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns. Chiefs running back Kareem Hurt was the first to score as he ran for a 1-yard TD during his team’s first possession. Later in the first quarter, Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew found receiver Jakobi Meyers for a 7-yard touchdown to tie the game.

Raiders kicker Daniel Carlon’s 54-yard field goal put the Raiders back in the lead, but the Chiefs immediately answered back on their next scoring drive, lasting eight minutes and involving the number one Swiftie, tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce finished the game with 90 yards on 10 receptions off 12 targets.

Minshew completed 24 passes out of 30 attempts with 209 in the air. The Chiefs defense sacked him five times throughout the match, and the almost non-existent running game left the Raiders offense with only 33 yards on the ground. The game only had a one possession difference going into the fourth quarter, even with Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker extending his team’s lead with a 24-yard field goal.

Mahomes threw a 9-yard TD pass to receiver Xavier Worthy to put the game to 27-13 with five minutes left to spare. Minshew then found receiver DJ Turner on their next drive for an 11-yard touchdown, but with only 2 minutes on the clock the Chiefs continued to succeed on their third down plays, converting a total of 12 of 16 third downs in the game.

Sitting in last place in the AFC West with a 2-6 record, the Raiders will go on the road to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, November 3.
