On the Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Last Sunday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City was a record setter for the Chiefs (9-4) their biggest spread in a 39 point victory over the Las Vegas Raiders (6-7) 48-9. There certainly wasn’t a mercy rule in this contest.

#2 You would never know with a score like that that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes would throw well under 300 yards his line, 20-24, 258 yards, and two touchdowns it just seemed like the running backs were on autopilot all game long.

#3 Tony, Mahomes said after the game, “You don’t want people coming into your stadium and trying to disrespect things you’ve built,” Mahomes said. “So for us, there was a little more motivation to go against a really good football team that we have a rivalry against.”

#4 For the Raiders quarterback Derek Carr 33-45, 263 yards, one touchdown and an interception. For Carr’s offense last Sunday a field goal in the second quarter by Dan Carlson and a touchdown catch for Hunter Renfrow in the third quarter.

#5 Up next for the Raiders the Cleveland Browns (7-6) at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. The Browns have been playing .500 going 5-5 in their last ten games. The Browns won their last game Sunday just getting by the Baltimore Ravens (8-5) at FirstEnergy. The Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 190 yards and two touchdowns.

#6 Tony, the game was a concern for a moment as 14 players and coaches which included quarterback Baker Mayfield were put on the Covid 19 protocols lists for this Saturday. The Browns will be shorthanded but they will be able to field a team against the Raiders this Saturday.
