On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony talk about the fumble at the end of the game. The Las Vegas Raiders were in the Kansas City Chiefs zone at the 48 trying to get good field position for kicker Daniel Carlson to kick a game winning field goal with seconds left in the game. The Raiders wanted a little more field position for Carlson when quarterback Aidan O’Connell was counting his audibles when center Andre James snapped the ball which deflected off O’Connell for a fumble and was recovered by the Chiefs to win the game 19-17.

#2 No doubt about it Tony it had to be a heartbreaker for Antonio Pierce the Raiders head coach after O’Connell was moving the ball down field on that last offensive possession to get it over the 50 in the Chiefs zone and it didn’t hold up for the Raiders.

#3 In this game the Raiders had a more mindful defense and O’Connell was staying in step with the Chiefs offense For O’Connell on Friday Night Football 23-35, 340 yards, and two touchdowns. The Raiders kept it close but again just fell short at the end of the game.

#4 To Raiders defense they kept the pressure up on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs scored a field goal in the first quarter, a touchdown in the second quarter, two field goals in the third quarter by Michael Wright, and it was Wright’s game go ahead field goal with 9:53 left that lifted the Chiefs past the by a field goal.

#5 The Raiders now 2-10 having lost eight in a row will come face to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Bucs are just a game out of first place with a 5-6 record. The Bucs are 2-4 at home the Raiders are a 1-6 on the road. It’s a 10:00 AM PST kick off how do you see this game shaking out?
