On the Raiders podcast with Tony:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders (1-4) grabbed the first lead and then couldn’t hold on anymore after losing a 20-10 lead.

#2 With 3:20 left in the third quarter Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) quarterback Pat Mahomes threw a eight yard pass to wide receiver Travis Kelce who caught it for a go ahead touchdown 24-20.

#3 A game like this had to be more than a disappointment for Raider head coach Josh McDaniels after taking a taking a ten point lead the Raiders defense really let down after the first half.

#4 The Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson booted a 47 yarder to cut the lead to 24-23 to cut lead to one point in the nail biter with 14:05 left.

#5 Mahomes threw to Kelce one yard to a six pointer as the Chiefs improved their lead by six points 30-24 with 7:25 left in the game.

#6 Derek Carr threw a 48 yarder on a third and long and hit Devante Adams for a touchdown to cut the lead down to one point 30-29 with 4:27 left but McDaniels called for a conversion rather than kicking the extra point to tie the game and running back Josh Jacobs was stopped right at the line.

#7 Raiders host the Houston Texans on Sun Oct 23rd after the Sun Oct 16 bye week lots to think about after a close loss like this one on Monday Night Football.
