OAKLAND-Well, the Oakland Raiders will not tie the Detroit Lions for most losses in a season and they can thank the arm of Derek Carr and the legs of Latavius Murray.

Carr found James Jones for a nine-yard touchdown pass with 1:42 remaining in the game, and the Raiders defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 24-20 before a rain soaked crowd of 52,865 at the Coliseum.

That final Raiders drive covered 17 plays for 80 yards and took 7:21 to run and the Raiders became the final team in the NFL this season have a drive of over seven minutes.

With the victory, the Raiders snapped their 16-game losing streak, as they won for the first tine since defeating the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on November 17, 2013, a span of 368 days.

Murray ran for 112 yards on just four carries before being forced to leave the game with a concussion.

The second-year running back out of the University of Central Florida gave the Raiders a 14-0 lead before the Chiefs could even get on the scoreboard.

Murray gave the Raiders a 7-0 lead on their second possession of the game, as he took the handoff from Carr and scampered 11 yards into the end zone.

On the Raiders second series of the second quarter, Murray broke through the Chiefs defense and ran 90 yards for a touchdown to give the Raiders their largest lead of the season at 14-0.

The 90-yard touchdown run by Murray was just the fourth touchdown of 90 yards or more in the Raiders 55-year history.

Terrelle Pryor and Bo Jackson, who did it twice are the only other Raiders players to ever score touchdowns of 90 yards or more.

Since the merger of the two leagues in 1970, the Raiders became just the third team to beat a first-place team for their first win of the season after they lost their first 10 games to begin a season.

The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Green Bay Packers in 1997, and the Buffalo Bills defeated the Dallas Cowboys in 1984.

Following the Carr to Jones touchdown that gave the Raiders the lead, Alex Smith began to drive the Chiefs down the field for a potential game-winning score; however Smith’s desperation pass on fourth-and-13 fell incomplete and the Raiders could celebrate their first win of the season.

Just one play earlier after a Khalil Mack and Sio Moore sack, the two began to celebrate, while the Chiefs ran up to the line and hiked the ball.

The officials threw a flag for offsides on the Raiders; however veteran Justin Tuck was able to get the timeout after telling at his younger teammates.

Smith brought the Chiefs back from two different 14-point deficits at 14-0 and 17-3 to take a 20-17 lead on a Cairo Santos field goal on the drive prior to the Carr to Jones game-winning touchdown.

A 28-yard punt return by Freddie Hammond setup Santos’ second field goal of the game with 9:03 remaining in the game.

Carr went 18-for-35 for 174 yards, while Smith went 20-for-36 for 236 yards passing on a 57 degree night in Oakland.
