Grading Raiders’ loss to Chiefs

How the Raiders performed successful a 48-9 nonaccomplishment against the Chiefs.

Offense: F

Each of 3 first-half turnovers were turned into Kansas City touchdowns arsenic the Raiders were wholly retired of sync from the get-go. Josh Jacobs, Foster Moreau and adjacent Hunter Renfrow each coughed up the ball. It was comical. Derek Carr and Zay Jones added second-half fumbles for a full of five.

The turnovers yet led to 28 points for the Chiefs. The Raiders couldn’t tally the shot — a full of 44 yards — and couldn’t support Carr. He was sacked 4 times. Renfrow again produced with 13 catches for 117 yards and a score. Not that it mattered successful the least.

Defense: F

It wasn’t helped by each those violative miscues, but it besides wasn’t immoderate good. Patrick Mahomes rolled up a 139.2 backmost standing successful completing 20-of-24 for 258 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Raiders sacked Mahomes doubly but ne'er could consistently get stops.

Kansas City ran for 132 yards and amassed a full of 372. Johnathan Abram led the Raiders with 10 tackles. Divine Diablo added 9 for a linebacker corps beset with injury.

Special teams: D

Daniel Carlson missed an other constituent — wherefore wouldn’t helium connected this day? — and made his lone field-goal effort from 26 yards. Tyron Johnson was conscionable brought up from the signifier squad and looked it returning kicks, unsure of his determination making much than once. AJ Cole, who similar Carlson signed a declaration hold this week, punted 3 times for a nett of conscionable 39.7 yards. But, hey, that fake punt precocious successful the archetypal fractional worked to enactment the Raiders —down 35-0 astatine the clip — successful presumption for a mighty tract goal.

Coaching: A

For awful, abysmal, abominable, atrocious. So overmuch for Rich Bisaccia’s process this week. The Raiders were unprepared and overmatched. The first-half beat-down was of ridiculous proportions. Bisaccia mightiness beryllium an interim caput coach, but this is inactive the NFL and that was arsenic embarrassing a show implicit an opening 30 minutes arsenic a squad could deliver. Bisaccia. His staff. Everyone. A wholly forgettable afternoon.
