The Raiders got spanked by Denver41-14 on MNF for their season opener. QB JaMarcus Russell completed 17 of 26 for 180 yards with two touchdowns and two fumbles. His offensive linemen allowed him to get sacked three times. Their receiving core could only muster up 167 passing yards as first year starter QB Russell opted to run the ball the majority of the time. RB Justin Fargas was their top rusher on the day with 18 carries, two catches, for 109 yards while RB Darren McFadden had 9 carries for 46 yards. Their defense is just plain awful as they gave up a 29th ranked 441 total yards. On pass defense they allowed 299 yards and against the run they allowed their opponents 142 yards. It’s looking like another poor year for the Raiders and their crazy fans.
The KC Chiefs dropped their first game of the season 10-17 to the Patriots and they were the ones responsible for taking out Pats QB Tom Brady. Veteran QB Damon Huard made 8 of 12 passes for 118 yards with one touchdown pass, but threw an interception. His offensive linemen allowed him to get sacked three times. They offensively recorded a 24th ranked 284 total yards and on defense they gave up a 21st ranked 338 total yards. Defensively they gave up 338 total yards, 212 passing yards and 126 passing yards. The Chiefs are 9-1 SU against their bitter AFC West rivals. WR Dwayne Bowe had five catches for 49 yards with a touchdown, but he also had five dropped balls. He figures to get plenty of looks against Oakland's struggling defense and his ability to catch the ball consistently could make the difference. Chiefs RB Larry Johnson has rushed for 100 yards or more in four straight starts vs. Oakland. LB Donnie Edwards has more sacks (5) against the Raiders than he has had against any other team in the NFL.
